Christmas shopping gets harder for me every year. I seem to be in some kind of weird competition with myself, I always gotta try to top myself from last year and now I can't see anywhere else to go without getting ridiculous. What do you get a 11 year old girl who doesn't play with anything for more than 3 days? Everybody always says clothes. That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Should I get her soap and let her eat dinner too? Isn't that my job anyway? Don't get me wrong, I can remember as a kid running downstairs Christmas morning searching frantically for my brand new wardrobe, grabbing that extra special looking box, tearing it open and shouting "YES! YES! I got them, Santa is real! I will never take my brand new Scooby-Doo underwear off again!" But alas. Many, many years later, they're getting kinda tight and they make my asshole itch.
Scooby-Doo underwear, what a cruel practical joke that was. It's not even like they were just in a bag or something. They were in a big box, wrapped ever so nicely with a big bow and all. It's from Grand mom too, so it has to be good!....Oh....thanks Grand mom :(. I think she hated me. But I digress.
So what to get the girl who wants everything and plays with nothing. I'm thinking about just renting a bunch of crap and returning it when she gets tired of it. Or at least the next day, I don't think Rent-A-Center is open Christmas night. Or rewrapping all her presents from last year and hoping she doesn't notice.
But I'll just wind up spending a butt load of money, like every year. It'll get thrown in the closet, like every year. And I'll get sick to my stomach every time I see the crap, like every year.
It could be worse though, we could be Jewish. 8 days? You kidding me? No thanks!
