A happy Thursday to my Canadian compadres and a happy Thanksgiving to my American counterparts. I still think it is goofy to have Thanksgiving at the end of November, and even more insane to have a holiday on a Thursday. Good luck with your after holiday sales. Some of the stores have been advertising that they were planning on opening at 5am on Friday. I do love to shop, but definitely not that early.
With the Christmas season creeping up on us a little faster than I would like, I am just starting to panic about my lengthy shopping list. Thankfully I have already come up with a gift for our stupid office gift exchange. But I am still debating what to get my boss, if anything. And I am definitely at a loss for what to get any of my family or friends.
What makes it worse is that people keep telling me that they have already gotten my Christmas present. But somehow I think I will still be wandering around Christmas Eve, trying to come up with the perfect idea. So, as a help to me and a way to ensure you actually get a Christmas present this year, please leave a comment with your Christmas wish.
Please note that requesting a pony, world peace or tickets to a Poison reunion concert will result in no present. Try and be realistic. And saying, “But Denise, you are the only present that any of us really ever need”, while that is true, it is also not an answer and will likely result in no present as well.
And to help aid some of you in your search for the perfect holiday gift for myself, I have enclosed my Christmas wish list for your perusal. Good luck.
1. Seriously, more than anything, I want a new car.
But after a many attempts to procure one without much cost to me, I realized that I most likely won’t be getting a car with a big red bow on it for Christmas. (But this doesn’t mean that I won’t accept one, if that is what you decide to get me)
However, in the alternative, I have settled for my car getting fixed. Or at least an oil change.
2. An apron
I know that sounds weird and like a request a mom or grandma would make, but I seriously have been asking for one every birthday and Christmas for almost two years now. And every year, someone says, “Oh that is a good idea” and I never get one.
3. A new ipod—ipod touch.
But failing that, a new battery for my ipod.
4. Windshield wipers
Should all of our gifts have to be from Canadian Tire again, this is the only thing I want. But at least try and get some high quality ones this year.
5. Gift Cards
I know that is a copout present. But what if I suggest gift cards for things like groceries and/or gas? Besides how exactly do you give the gift of gasoline without a gift card? And no a big jerry can is not the answer.
How is the year almost over? As of today, there are only 39 more days left of 2007.
Here’s to:
Making the most of what is left.
Figuring out what is left when everything is said and done.
Circadian rhythms and REM cycles being sorted out.
The greatest Anti-Preference Party that has ever been thrown.
Good Luck and of course, God Speed.
