Woman shocked to see swastikas on Christmas wrapping paper

A Florida woman says her new Christmas wrapping paper is full of swastikas.

Casey Lehman bought a roll of wrapping paper at the Altamonte Mall. She said it looked innocent enough until she unrolled it on Monday.



"I asked myself, 'Is that really what I think it is? Am I making something out of nothing,'" Lehman said.

Lehman said she couldn't believe her eyes. She called her fiancé and mother just to double check and she said they all agreed that her wrapping paper is covered in swastikas.



"It's shocking to me, but someone else could get this on Christmas Day and who knows how I would affect somebody else," Lehman said.

The symbol on the gift paper has a dot in each quadrant, which indicates it's actually an ancient Sanskrit symbol from Hinduism that denotes good luck. The wrapping also features Indian looking ornamentation including elephants.
