In addition to the box from China, there is one more small item inside the box, a second box inside the box. Even with this second box next to the first box that's inside of a huge box, the shipping box is much larger than necessary.
I debate keeping the box. I have started collecting boxes in case I decide to move at some point. I could be on that show Hoarders except that I hoard empty boxes. This big box is bulky, though, not the kind of box that lends itself to moving.
Not to mention that I do keep going to the dark place (see paragraph #1) ... I seriously could stuff a body (probably in parts) into this box. The fact that I even know this and continue to dwell on it indicates that I should probably disassemble the box and get it prepped for the recycle rotation on Tuesday.
It's not all death and destruction, though. I mean, presents do arrive in that box, Matryoshka-style or not. (Just in case you forgot, though, I really, truly, and with very little blood loss could fit a body into this large shipping box. I'm just saying.)
