  • Christmas of "I have enough"

    This year, JC's paternal side has decided to have a Secret Santa gift giving arrangement this year instead of getting gifts for everyone. I'm glad for that, since it gets harder and harder to find useful and thoughtful gifts every year. We find that everyone has everything. And for me, there's nothing that I really want. Well, there *are* things that I sorta want, but I wouldn't feel comfortable receiving it as a gift. Diamond tennis bracelet? Ha!

    Even though everyone is weathering the financial gloom and doom just fine, it's hard not to think twice about spending. I was waiting in line at from Dunkin Donuts, and all of a suddent it seemed really expensive to spend $4 on a cup of coffee and two donuts that I don't even need. http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"> name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"> name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12">

    Not to mention the empty calories. So, I hopped off the line and went back to the office. (I had just purchased 5 sponge cakes in Chinatown.)

    This holiday season, I sorta just want to give Target Gift certificates to everyone since I know that's what people will use. Does that seem cheezy? How would you react if you got a Target Gift certificate for the holidays?
