Christmas List 2006

I still believe that the holiday spirit means that you don't expect presents from anyone, and you only give presents to people you want to. I appreciate gifts from others, and though I feel obligated to give a gift back, it really shouldn't be that way. I also feel like gifts that I give to others should not make them feel obligated to give something as well.

I was asked today by someone if we would be exchanging gifts this year. Though I appreciate the gesture, the message of hey, I don't want to be empty handed if you buy something (and i don't really want to buy something if you don't), the fact that it was even asked is enough. It means I was in that person's thoughts at least.

So basically, the trick this year is to ask me if I want anything, to which I will say no and thank you. Or you can man up and buy me a nifty gift below:

Electric Razor
Wireless PS2 controller
Nintendo Wii
A sports coat or blazer
A golf size umbrella (full size and usable as a walking stick)
Leather gloves
Dress shirts
Eragon and Eldest
White sneakers
David Sedaris - Naked, Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules, or Holidays on Ice: Stories
