No, they have been stocking their shelves since July. They arrived long ago, but it is now apparent to the ones who love this holiday debauchery. Let's give thanks and stuff our ( Read more... )

My family draws names and we only buy 1 gift for that person for $25. It's a much better alternative to the crazy gift giving bonanza.

btw, I added you to my friends list.

sorry for the long rant there.

yeah, we try to give within reason around my household as well. $25 that actually sounds like a good idea. As the cliche goes, it's the thought that's supposed to count.

Anyhow, thanks for adding me to your friends list. I'll add you back.

Hey dude... I think you might need some stress relief. What about buying some Pain and Stress Relief Holiday and Christmas Gifts?

*Even Grin*

yeah, I get all wound up sometimes...suprisingly none of these stress relief tools really compare to Josh, but hey what can you do?

Actually the head messager looked kind of neat. More than anything I was blowing off some steam in that post.

btw, me and becca got Cake tickets. hopefully, you and josh can make it to the show.

sorry, the above question was kind of a rhetorical failure at sarcasim. I forget that tone is harder to imply in written communication at times.

But yeah, I totally get it. I thought maybe you were talking about my writing at first, but I half guessed you were talking about the subject matter.

Well, at least I won't feel bad about not getting you a present.

heh, like I said, it was a rant I had to get off my chest. Besides you know the people I am speaking off, the ones who put no thought or feeling behind there gifts. The same people that waste life. It's the emptiness that I am speaking of. Mass Consumerism, not gift giving itself.

For some reason I was just reminded of "Buddah Clause."
