christmas

I'm not much for Christmas. It's a holiday that stresses people out, makes single people depressed and glorifies consumerism.

yuck.

I usually make zero plans for Christmas becuase i don't care. and i don't get depressed either. I rather revel in the fact that i get a day off from work. why WOULD i be depressed?

One year, however, my girlfriend Natalie invited me to San Francisco to be with her family. They live in the marina district and i love these people. They're very upper, upper class and who, by probably reason that i'm their daughters friend, love me too. My friends mother, Judy, is like a movie star...she's glamorous, proper and really has a lovely sense of humor. Her husband, Dan, is a golfer, quiet and genial.

I saw'r that Judy and Dan had got me a gift so i had to hoof it up to Walgreens and buy everyone a gift too! (ain't i nice?) Judy & Dan got me a beautiful feminine gift, as expected and I got them some bath stuff and a few manly items for Dan.

For Natalie, i got her a thug cap and a vibrator.

a
thug
cap; and, a
vibrator.

It's a Homedics vibrator so technically it's supposed to be used to ease your tension. Judy, not sure how to react, just said "Oh my!

...you know, Natalie, i can take that back for you if you'd like..."

I tried to say i got it for her to help her through the stresses of her new job, you know...for her neck and shit; but, i could not stop laughing.

SO, Tanya rules for gift buying:
+
= one HAPPY Holiday

HI TANYA! hehe, thanks for the laugh this morning. I don't much do Christmas either, except my family does so I have to humor them. I plan on baking some cookies from VwaV and making some picture CDs for most of my gifts, and buying the rest at Walgreens during my lunchreak today. :)

First off, that thing looks like a turkey baster. Second, 'huff it up to Walgreens to get them a present.' Classy! ;)

That made me laugh so loud that my co-workers turned to look. Next year I'm coming to you for suggestions on what to buy for people.
