Every year I am told that I am not getting much for Christmas and that I will be disappointed. Every year I say that every year I am told that I am not getting much for Christmas and that I will be disappointed. Every year I am told that No, really; this year won’t be very impressive. And every year I get spoiled.
• the best gift was an idea by my grandmother that was implemented by my aunt and mother. I got a scrapbook that charts my grandma’s family history, it is amazing.
• and the award for the most nonsensical gift goes to… mom! She got me He’s Just Not That Into You: The No-excuses Truth to Understanding Guys, a sexual politics book based on a Sex and the City episode that is written for women. It even has a part in the back for a woman to write down “[Her] Super-helpful Standards that [She] Will Never Ever Forget or Forsake No Matter How Hot [She] Thinks He is.” Apparently her reasoning behind getting me this book is that I can understand how I behave and how girls read things. Unfortunately, I don’t care to learn about the wearying ways that Cosmo-reading, quiz-taking, pill-gobbling girls overanalyze what I mean when I say I need to go get guitar strings. Speaking of which, I think I’m going to go get some guitar strings.
