All right Grinches, Christmas only comes once a year...and it's the most wonderful time of the year.....though it is hard to get in the spirit when the stores put Halloween shit out with the Thanksgiving and Christmas stuff too. Makes it overwhelming. Most of us have kids so it's really all about them, isn't it?
I only buy presents for children and my parents...everyone else gets kids pictures, but in a nice frame. I usually buy practical gifts, not just something I picked up on sale, something they can use. It would make the holidays better if most people shopped like that....my stepmother got me some hideous costume jewelry and bath soap that smelled like poo scented raspberrys last year. nice.
