Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Christmas! Gifts! Parties! Etc!
Barmymoo:
I got some socks and they are awesome. I'm wearing a pair right now! They have really cute kitties on and they're made of that awesomely soft sock fabric that makes your feet feel like they are in foot heaven.
Yeah it's definitely true that you reach a point where you're glad of bath things for Christmas. Now that I have a job I have to buy my own toiletries, because I do use quite a lot of them, and I was very chuffed to receive three lots of shower gel and two lots of hand cream because really, I don't earn enough that those things are no longer luxuries.
Jimmy the Squid:
I never said buying luxury toiletry items was hard Spluff old mate. It's just that hey, when I get that stuff it's just one more thing I don't have to buy myself and that is A-OK with me. And yeah they are kind of lame gifts but Alex also has a point in that our grandparents probably don't have as much money to throw around, especially with the economy the way it is. Belts are tightening all over and man am I talking weird today, I need to go and sit quietly for a while.
Gilead:
Things I got!
A dark green leatherbound sketchbook (it is beautiful, I think I'm going to use it as my journal when I visit america)
A book of old horror movie posters
Black Holes (a really surreal graphic novel)
A really ugly indian shirt (luckily it is real comfy and light so it's my new pyjama shirt)
Clothes!
Things I am getting:
A refurbished record player.
It was a good christmas, also I found out that tofurkey can actually be incredibly absurdly delicious.
J-cob9000:
Ooh, yay! I ordered a new shirt and my mom is replacing our Playstation because it doesn't work. If I had a choice, I could've payed for the Playstation and she could've gotten me a 360. She said she couldn't afford them.
Alex C: Yeah, my grandparents wouldn't get anything 'frivolous'. They were young during the depression and they still live in it.
Ladybug:
I think my parents may have been the recipients of the most awesome gift in our house this Christmas.
I have a feeling, based on who they are, that the gifters do not know the alternative meaning of a banana hammock, and thus fail to see the funny, which makes it funnier.
