Well, I love gifts.
But I gotta go along with Racer a bit. How hard is it for people to just sit for a minute or two and THINK about me and what I might like.
Me, being the martyr that I am, do that for other people and get them wonderful gifts that they treasure - really I do.
last christmas - from a person that will remain nameless but is my dad - i received a supersized jug of dishwasher detergent. 75 premade tablets. I'm still using them. I hear this year it's a trunkload of cat litter.
Also, if I get one more bath and bodyworks prefab gift basket I might just lose it. I don't smell, really I don't, but the mango/cherry/honeysuckle/lime/verbena/coconut stuff really does.
Okay, while I'm just free venting I don't want any more pre-made hot chocolate powder, socks, underwear, ugly purses, cookbooks, self-help books, datebooks (okay just no more books), tool sets, jumper cables, picture frames, coffetable books about cats (although I guess that falls under books), braided area rugs, christmas sweatshirts, free dinners for two at the Olive Garden (i'm single people, do you have to rub it in?), pepper spray, indoor outdoor thermometers, pajamas, or novelty pillows that say anything about cats, dogs, god, christmas, or bless this mess in any way.
happy holidays everyone!
Seldom.
