a napkin is a part of the family.

You may be surprised to learn just how important a napkin really is. It is not just a square of cloth, it's a vessel for bringing people together and showing them how important they and the meal are. Having grown up in a household where a cloth napkin was present at every dinner, I can personally attest to its power. Regardless of how delicious or tasteless (sorry Mom, pork chops weren't one of your highlights) the meal was, a cloth napkin designated that event as important. As a result of this "power" napkin, my family is very close to this day. I'll give a little credit to my Mom and Dad's ability to parent well, but honestly, it's really the napkin.

So here are several "power" napkins that will bring your family and friends together, soak up oil drips better than paper towels and possibly bring the Republicans and Democrats together in Congress.
