Just saw this fun tweet: "Other than getting a camero and an iPad this Christmas sucks".
First off, it's Camaro.
Secondly, I'm ready to swear off gifts next Christmas after seeing the gluttony, raging and greed in the world this past holiday season. I've seen more ire and depression over not getting electronic fucking toys than ever before. Selfish, gimmee-gimmees of the world need to stfu and look around themselves every now and again, just to get a good dose of reality. When did we stop buying sweet, personal gifts for each other in favor of telling everyone what we want--and if we don't get two outta ten things on that list, all presents being something you'd need to go to the mafia to fund nowadays, it's "FML!"?
I got a bunch of little gifts, a stand for my telescope, a couple small gift cards and a membership to the museums in Springfield. Those were my big deal, none of which were asked for but personal and to ME, a BFD. And I'd trade it all for the night I spent at my stepmom's with the Greek end of town, games, deep conversation and a table full of glorious, delicious desserts. It's cos' of this thing called "gratitude". GET you some, world, cos' I'm sick of this crap.
Gavs got only a few gifts from us this year, and y'know what? He was thrilled. The grandparents spoiled him, but with things he honestly loves, and with mostly clothes. That's what happens when you don't have TV to blast commercials in your kids faces, people. That's what happens when you put more worth into what you have than what you don't.
