A newspaper is not a necessity to me. I could do without it. So, if my paper started showing up soaking wet because I didn't give a Christmas gift, I'd just cancel my subscription. Problem solved for both parties.
If your paper carrier is typical of those I've seen in TV, you'll get your paper properly wrapped and in your driveway whether you tip or not. Most of the carriers do not require a tip, but it is appreciated (one of my daughter's friends delivers papers). The note with envelope has become a kind of tradition here. It seems that some residents used to stay awake to catch their delivery person and the paper w/envelope just developed so folks wouldn't have to "catch" the delivery person. Nowadays, you can always just add a tip to your payment to the Sun (but who knows if it actually all goes to the carrier).
