During the Ancestral Worshiping Festival, it is common for chinese folks like my family to burn joss paper for our departed ancestors. The joss papers always come in a tightly-bundled stack and we will usually twist and turn the stack to fan out the individual joss paper. This makes it easier for us to pick out the joss paper to roll and twirl them into a cylindrical-like shape, something like this:
For this year's festival, I didn't really helped to do much rolling and folding of the joss papers. Maybe that is why I have to turn and twist this huge pile of letters, which has to be sent to our customers, the other day to fan the individual pieces out for easy slotting into the envelopes.
Bah. Whatever.
