As most of you are aware, Christmas will be here soon. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for celebrating Jesus (or whatever you celebrate), but it’s definitely a stressful time of the year.
I find myself wondering what gifts to give people. Every year, I try and get the “perfect” gift for everyone. I spend endless hours thinking about what each person would dream of getting.
“Self, you need to find the best gift for everyone ever!!!”
“But I just can’t!”
“Yes you can!!!”
I lay in bed thinking about it.
I watch tv and think about it.
I even stand on my head and think about it.
The hardest thing of all is when you have a man-thing in your life. Men are just so difficult to buy for and they don’t drop subtle hints like we ladies do.
You ask them and they say things like, “Oh, you don’t need to get me anything. Just being around you is enough.” That’s false, though. We all know it is. What do you get a man-thing who owns everything?!!! So the question still remains, what the heck do I get people for Christmas?!!!!!
I always try the ‘we’re not getting each other gifts’ method….
…But that winds up rather badly.
I’m just bad at giving gifts. At this point, I’m thinking it’d be best if I became a hermit and just cut out any contact I have with humans. I’ll just celebrate Christmas by myself without gifts. It’s just way too stressful.
If you need me, I will be on an island full of cats.
Remember That Time?
