Two From The Heart (key in The Sound of Music)

I think one doesn't need to spend a lot of $$$ for Christmas to have a fabulous one. One doesn't need all the lights and Christmas music. It's in the heart, right?

1) Simple and thoughtful gifts are the best. In college, out of money and not allowed to find work, I once cut little hearts out of colored paper and put them in a box. Then I put little slips of papers similar to coupons (Back massage worth 30 minutes redeemable only through March 1980) that ranged from massage to one cooked meal (trust me, it's not easy to get me to cook for you!). My then beloved was only allowed to rummage for ONE coupon ;-).

2) Once upon a time, my beloved took me to a field in the deep dark hills of Ohio. Millions of fireflies appeared out of nowhere and we sat there in the darkness just watching the twinkling lights. I felt incredibly wondrous.

WHAT AM I SAYING?!

The freaking guy broke up with me on the next Christmas! And he didn't even make out with me in that field! What kinda bf was he anyway?!

Bah.

You get him to buy you that LCD-HDTV with cherry on the top, you hear? And you make sure he spend hours stringing those lights out in the yard with the 300 Santas and baby Jesus. Don't forget to nag him. NAG HIM!

No simple. Ptui on thoughtful. You make sure he spends LOTSA TIME to give you an incredible Christmas day!!!!!!!

And that's an order, girlfriend! ;-)

By the way, these kids won me over. You gotta love kids who are so creative and brave:



So, what's the worst Christmas gift you've ever given or gotten? Besides being dumped. That is such a bad thing to have happened, especially over the phone.

And more suggestions please, for tomorrow's last post...AND A...And A...?????? You got one shot! Better make it good! If I choose you, you might actually get a present!
