Christmas Shopping.
Mood: Lazy
Music: Bloc Party - Pioneers
Truth be told, I love giving Christmas presents (Do not confuse this with "I like Christmas" because I don't. I hate it). I take pride in giving cool gifts and making the people I care about happy with what they get, but wow, the effort is definitely taxing. Not only is your wallet beyond empty by the time the Christmas season is over, but the amount of legwork you have to put into finding the "perfect present" is definitely not a walk in the park. And then theres the problem of having "x" number too many relatives, some of whom you barely know, and yet you kinda feel obligated to get them something, when really, all you want to do is play favoritism and get the people you want to get things for really cool things. But that's not fair now is it? *sighs* Back to shopping... not done with my list yet. Bleh. Why are parents so hard to buy for?!

Parents are the hardest to buy presents for because they'll always say, "Honey, thank you! That's so sweet," and they'll love it even if they never considered possessing one in their lifetime and it's still a sincere feeling.
More than anything, you want your gift to show them how much you love `em and how much you know `em, despite the fact that they probably love you more and know you more...
Or maybe, it's just that we love `em so much we can never find anything good enough.
In the end, it's always the thought that counts, right? :)
Whatever happened to the "50 Reasons Why Your Son's Not as F*cked-Up as You Think He Is" idea? :P
BTW: Still no news about Foomeh...
