Every year I wait for Christmas, simply because I love to see my family, and contrary to the readily accepted capitalist dogma, not because of the gifts. In all honesty, I'm completely fine getting nothing at all on Christmas, giving things away is always more fun. This sentiment however vanishes inexplicably when faced with a truly awful gift! When I unwrap an item that betrays my family's complete lack of insight into my life, such as a cheap knock off video-game system, or a pleasant tie, I want to strangle them all by their tasteful scarves! Just once I would like to get a present that showed that the sender knew a little bit about me, and cared enough to use that knowledge in selecting a gift. In the meantime, I suggest that all future Christmases be canceled, and the usual shopping time devoted to actually getting to know our families!
Now my after Christmas slowdown top five playlist:
- A lack of color -Death Cab For Cutie
- At your funeral -Saves The Day
- Beast and the harlot -Avenged Sevenfold
- Be ok -Ingrid Michaelson
- Disposable teens -Marilyn Manson
And that's all I have to say about that!
yeah i know what u mean dude...
ReplyDeletei didnt even ask for anything for christmas, and i got the best presents i've ever gotten
I'm so lucky my fam gets me. My mom got me Bella Lugosi barettes and my bro got me Nightmare Before Christmas stationery.
ReplyDeleteWhy some people give you what THEY want you to have is beyond my scope of understanding. I'm with you, I'd rather get nothing and that person spend time with me instead.
