(no subject)
tonight...me and matt made a roadtrip out to northbridge//uxbridge to make christmas deliveries to the bean and annie bananie. ever since i have been doing some thinking.
1. while at annie's house she asked me, "do you want to go feed my turkey with me," in a way that one would ask another to go and do something as normal as having a cup of tea. so arm in arm we trekked down her ice covered backyard with annie yelling "TERESA...GOBBLE GOBBLE...TERESA!" (teresa is apparently the female version of tom) And sure enough in the middle of the backyard there is their turkey in a pen which they are over feeding so that they can eat it in january. and i decided that only in the annie smith house would something like this go on.
2. then while shopping at target i decided that christmas is truly overated with the gift giving. now...don't get me wrong here...i'm not like one of those "don't take the christ out of christmas people" but i just think the whole idea of togetherness is no longer a priority. first come the gifts and then comes the togetherness so you can exchange the gifts. but if you really think about it...you put out all this money to buy people gifts...and then you just get all these gifts back, which in about a month will be shoved in the back of your closet. so in theory it balances out, kind of. so wouldn't it just make more sense to save your money, have a nice time with your family, and then use the money to get something you really need?
3. and then upon our return home my brother was all in an uproar because gian went to bed before we got back so he couldn't smoke with him. so the nurse and sister in me came out and i said to him something along the lines of i dont like the thought of you doing that because it is so bad for you...to which he replied well i don't like the idea of you going into the air force which is bad for you too but you are still probably going to go ahead and do it despite what i think. and despite how much more morally right the form of harm i could be possibly deliberatly putting myself into is, for once, i do think the kid has a point.
so...happy holidays to all.
