I’m not much of a fan of christmas. Not that I don’t mind giving people presents, or even getting presents. I just hate having to go out and shop. What a giant pain.
And I procrastinate. To the very last minute.
And no one in my family has any idea what to get me for christmas. And I really have no idea what to tell them. Sure, I list off a whole string of expensive items. But as far as cheap things I will actually like for myself. Well, I usually buy those things.
And on the same note, I have no idea what to buy any else. My fallback is to buy people tools. Tools are fun. And if that fails, books.
Aka, the same old boring christmas gripes. I just wanted an excuse to the use the title of the post, stolen from somewhere I don’t remember.
It’s a bastardization for Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’

Heh, yes. Thats why I thought it was funny. I want an entire christmas version of warpigs.
Ha! Nice.
Monica and I shop the whole year. If I see cool shit somewhere, we will pick of a gift for someone as well. So… we are usually far ahead of the game. The hard part is remembering who the gifts are for… we are going to keep a list next year. The side-effect of this is that at any given moment, we *usually* have a gift ready for someone any time of the year. With 6 nieces, this is a handy feature of the “Warner Method”. :)
As for XMas… I am just getting tired of the hype. And I really really REALLY hate seeing XMas shit everywhere prior to Halloween or even Thanksgiving or even now, XMas. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I shouldn’t have to see fucking Christmas shit everywhere prior to. I forced my mom to dig around in her basement to find Thanksgiving decorations, because she already had all her Christmas shit up.
Tirade over for now. Sorry. :)
