Pocket change for Christmas


25 November. One month until Christmas or more like 4 weeks to bankruptcy. I am the most ghastly christmas present buyer. I always seem to be on a budget and everything appropriate seems to be affordable only to the stupid and rich. I dread this time of year. People say they don't want presents but they do. They really do. Truely.

I have been the victim of no-thank you's and guilt trips over no-presents countless of times. I am more likely to buy gifts for people when I see something on my travels that reminds me of that person. No special occasion, no forced reason for spending, just plain good ol' love and appreciation. That's what counts right? pffff!

I guess instead of 'Tis the season to be jolly we should say 'Tis the season for queues and spending...yeah I was gonna do the whole clever rhyming thing using the word Folly but by wikipedia definition Folly means a building primarily built for decoration...which didn't really make sense but hey at least you learnt something new today!
