...or not as the case may be. i'm referring to christmas shopping. it totally escapes me why people love buying presents for a million and one people at christmas, i know it's nice to give people things but how can it possibly be a joyful experience to buy presents that a)you dont like b)you know the receiver wont like and c)are for someone you've only met twice in your whole life!!! even buying presents for my beloved family isn't much fun. what do you get for four people who have everything already? (and no that isn't a rubbish joke i got out of a cracker!)
i went into town today to get presents for a few people and it wasn't really what i would class as a 'fun' experience. i had finally decided to get my brother a cd after asking him and getting the usual reply 'i dunno'. so, i confidently walked into 'music zone' (quite an intelligent place to look for a cd i thought) and i practically froze in the doorway. how on earth was i supposed to chose a cd out of the 5 million or so in there?! as far as i was concerned it was like trying to chose your favourite roses chocolate. admittedly there are a few you wouldnt go near but you lov ethe majority, how do you chose just one?!
then i set about finding something for my other brother and so far i've only got a poster (after a freak out over the number of posters there are to chose from!) how am i supposed to chose and buy presents?! granted i'm doing a degree, but they dont teach us anything about christmas shopping. now there's a life skill that would be useful!
all i can say is that i'm glad the real point of christmas isn't buying presents!
