What I want for Christmas
After much debate, I realized I don’t really want anything for Christmas. Come to think of it, I don’t think I ever have. I’ve been basically jotting down the first random thing that comes to my mind and putting it on my wish list for the year. It’s not like I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth here, I do enjoy whatever I get and don’t complain. It is almost as if you have to ask for something or else people look at you funny. Last year when people asked what I wanted I replied almost immediately, Guitar Hero. In truth I was actually ok without Guitar Hero and would have been content with a Twix bar or some Recess Peanut Butter Cups. Had I said that however, people would have thought me joking or looked at me funny. In a similar fashion this year, I asked for an Xbox 360, knowing full well that if I got one it would remain at home and I would not be able to use it 99% of the time. In reality I want my own chocolate pudding pie with an Oreo crust. Even though that would have been the cheaper object, the 360 would still be recieved because for some reason people feel compelled to splurge on material items when it comes to this time of year specifically. Even for birthdays or aniversaries you don’t see this kind gift giving. So here is what I really want for Christmas, I want this holiday to stop being an excuse to max out credit cards.
Although that’s one present I don’t really ever expect to get.
