yearly gift-begging
Let's be honest; this is the first time since leaving Japan that I've been, really, fairly, pretty well-off. There's nothing I really need for Christmas or my birthday this year. (Definitely nothing that I need like I needed that hot/cold air-conditioning unit my 'rents gave me in my first winter in Japan. Oh, lovely 'rents, I am loving you so.) So I've assembled the following list merely as a guide to people who insist on giving me things; if you can't, then don't. I won't hold it against you.

Tights. Socks. Underwears.
Weird food substances, especially for Indian or Mediterranean cuisines.
