He only cums once a year Do you like giving gifts that surprise or do you like asking people what they want and get it for them? I love suprising them with things they'd never expect but I know they'd get a kick out of! One of my favs was giving a large disco ball from a 70s bowling alley to my sister, i also bought one for myself. One of the most unique things to have in the middle of ya living room. Love it!
I NEVER give gift cards to close friends or family.. actually, I don't think i've ever given one at all.
i don't like the stress of feeling like you have to think of something to give everyone. nor the horrors of the enforced illogic of fanatacism. surprises are great, if they have anything to do with anything remotely useful to anything i'm interested in. and yes, i do not mean that just for myself.
both. surprises are the best, but they're not always possible so it's better to just get someone what they want rather than something random if you don't have a good surprise in mind for them.
T'was the night of Friday.. and all through the town no police were-a stirring no narcs were around The joints were all rolled and stuffed into sacks in dreams we'd get wasted to the highest climax When suddenly at the door we heard three knocks we all looked at each other and said "oh fuck its the cops" We opened the door and to red eyes appeared a pound of Colombian and a keg of beer The man standing wore only a smile so we invited him in to party awhile He spoke not a word but proceeded to stroll he opened a beer and lit up a bowl and as we all jammed to the Greatful Dead rings of incense encircled our heads and as he left and bid us good night he said "marijuana to all" "and to all a good high"..
Santa has been screwed for so long. Oracle stole his Naughty/Nice database and used it for even more targeted mailings from ToysRUs. UPS and FedEx stole his logistical model for overnight deliveries. Just took it. Elves were so screwed by the Chinese labor rates that no union could save them and only a few remain on staff as "consultants" though the term "tokens" has been bantered around. Climate change has forced the North Pole operation to shift to abandoned offshore oil drilling platforms in Norway. Their healthcare system insists that he drop 37 kilograms within the year or he will be disqualified. All of this drove Santa to the edge. After a night of hard drinking and fewer letters from children Santa drops his empty liter of peppermint schnapps and puts the revolver to his temple. BANG!!! is all the flag says as it drops down from the barrel. Punked by disgruntled elves to the bitter end.
I love finding something that I know someone is going to really like. I think that is what give me joy in giving a gift is seeing them light up when they open it.
i don't think giving people stuff should be one day a year, or any big deal made about it. i'd also rather see midwinter be about peace instead of either stuff or anyone's religion. its ok to feast and celebrate particular days if people want to. too often they get to be about stressing out over expectations. that isn't good for anyone's health as far as i can see. i don't mean to be the blanket that has gotten wet, but i like the kind of happiness that is sustainably calm. jolly fat men should not have to be imprisoned or enslaved to one day a year, but i do wish they'd wear some other color besides red. green is fine. or even blue.
