Mom- Some assorted home-made scented soaps and candles, and a small painting singing the praises of espresso. All bought at a local small business, so that's cool.
Dad- A coffee mug shaped like an automatic pistol, and bacon flavored hot sauce. He's just that kind of guy. Brother 1 (Age 20)- Also some assorted candies and such, and a collection of dried salamis and such. I'm thinking about getting him a gift card, too. He's the most impossible person to shop for, I swear. Brother 2 (Age 17)- A small cord that he needed to hook his bass up to yet another new doohickey (he picked it out, I bought it), a few assorted gag candies (such as Tabasco chocolate), and a bottle of banana ketchup. Brother 3 (Age 11)- Ice Age 4 DVD/Bluray/Digital copy. Brother 4 (Age 10)- Olive Garden gift card. The boy is utterly obsessed with Olive Garden, and wants to take my mother out to dinner. He's a classy little guy. Brother 5 (Age 9)- A LEGO set. Best friend- A Zildjian hat. I've also "adopted" a four year old boy in downtown Louisville whose family is struggling with poverty. I'm going Saturday to deliver a set of clothes, a warm blanket, a winter coat, and a "Break The Ice" game. I did the same thing last year and the grandma got pissed at me because I forgot something, so hopefully that doesn't happen this year. That should be it. I'm gonna have a heart attack when I look at my bank account. EDIT- Yes, I really do have that many siblings, though my 20 year old brother is technically not legally adopted.

I really only have one person to shop for, and I'll do that this weekend at the very last minute I'm sure. I was going to be thoughtful and try an get a gift for everybody, but it just seems like a lot of effort. Gifts for or from other adults at Christmas time just seems like a waste of time, and money really. It just seems expected, and to me has very little meaning when thats the case. I place more value on a kind word from a stranger than a gift thats only being given more out of obligation than anything else. Long as my special someone is happy I'm happy, and expect nothing nor want nothing from anyone.

I bought my brother a flannel shirt since I try to dress him across continents. He's 15 and goes to a nerdy private school so I make it my civic duty to make him as cool as possible. I got my mom a bunch of kindle books and my dad a cookbook. God I miss them....
I got one of my roommates vegan marshmallows and one of them olives since I ate all of theirs. I took my best friend and my god family (they came an visited me from the states) out to dinner. |
