Asiina posted:Christmas stories These are lovely stories and I'm glad the holiday means so much to you. I have an odd relationship with it due to my immigration. I always loved it as a kid and I loved the closeness we shared as family from it. It was always just us four mainly with an aunt joining us at some point on Christmas Day. These days I spend it with my in-laws, who're wonderful, generous, and very accommodating, but it's different. Back at home my father would always start by playing songs on the piano or guitar and would generally keep that up all day. There's a disc of bossa nova christmas covers that would be played to death. Even at the times there were tension in the family that would be pushed aside. I enjoy it these days but like I said it's different. I'm pretty ok at giving gifts. I'm more of an idea person, finding the gift is a much more difficult task for me, because I absolutely loathe shopping.

CCKeane posted:My family is really bad at accepting gifts graciously. A few years ago I found a first edition book by one of my mom's favorite authors. Obviously cost isn't everything, but it was distinctly Not Cheap. My mom was obviously a little disappointed and asked for a gift card to a department store the next day. That is really really sad. My family is awesome at accepting gifts. It might be the whole "grew up super poor" thing but it's kind of impossible to get someone in my family a bad gift. Last year I was so broke I couldn't buy gifts at all. I ended up buying nice stationary and handwriting personal letters to each member of the family telling them how much I admire them and how special they are. Nobody was disappointed, a couple people actually told me they loved getting that letter and that it was a perfect gift. This year I'm putting together a cookbook with favorite recipes and photos from everyone in the family. It's looking like more of a headache than I was anticipating. I think I'm gonna have to chase everyone down to get them to send me recipes. It should be a really cool gift when it's done though. A few years ago I was having a really difficult time in my life and my sister was going out of her way to be especially kind to me. One day over the summer she'd texted me about her fondness for jar candles, so I stored that information and when Christmas shopping rolled around, I got her a giant lilac jar candle. Then, a couple weeks before Christmas, she and I ended up hanging out and she drank tequila for the first time. We were both pretty trashed and giggly and she started pestering me to tell her what I got her for Christmas. I'm terrible at keeping gift related secrets but I'd managed to not reveal hers for at least a couple weeks, so I was trying to protest and not tell her, but she was like belligerently happy and refused to stop asking. So I told her about the candle and she was totally ecstatic. The next day, we were both terribly hung over and at one point she mentioned that she hadn't been blackout drunk in a while, so I was like "...how much do you remember from last night?" Christmas day rolled around and she was completely surprised by the jar candle. Not only had she forgotten about my telling her that I'd bought it, she had also forgotten about texting me to tell me how much she loves jar candles. That's pretty much my favorite Christmas memory.

Okay Christmas thoughts on a monday morning from me, Authorman which is not my real name. If people are just resorting to giving each other gift cards and money on Christmas, then it's better to just skip gifts altogether and treat it like the thanksgiving sequel that it is. I have zero issues with an end of the month monthly get together and feast type of deal with a different main ingredient each month. This sounds great lets whiteboard this later, I want to rap about christmas. Now if you are in a situation where people give a toot then you have to make efficient gift choices. Physical media is bogus, don't give people dvds or books what the heck. What is this 2008? People have netflix and kindles and poo poo nobody has time for this poo poo. I had to leave my house in order to play a cd this week. It's no good. No, there are two categories of Acceptable Gifts. The practical and the personal. The best gifts are those that people actually need or didn't realize they wanted. If you can cross those streams well you just slam dunked christmas right there. Good job Asiina that gift selection was christamazing. But some people are just the worst to gift at. I am one such person. I don't wait for major gift receiving holidays. I just get whatever I want or need when I want or need it. It's all id up here baby. Don't just give these jerks (me) money. No. I won't allow it. Put your checkbook down. Why do you give real people checks. I am not a utility company. You have to shotgun gift hints at their face until you see some microexpressions that tell you that they will fall to pieces if they see some fuckin micro machines under that big plastic tree. Just keep em coming so you don't tip off what the gift actually will be due to the sheer volume of hints. Never give up. Never surrender. Also feel free to give gag gifts every single year to build up the anticipation to your real and not at all a nordstroms gift card gift. Ratchet up the stakes each year so that by eight years in they are essentially living the life of Michael Douglas in the 1997 David Fincher film The Game. Never not be fooling.

My two best high school friends and I, when we all lived in the same city would get each other the dumbest gag gifts. We'd basically walk through a dollar store with $20 and look for things that made you say "Mike needs to own this." And it could be a giant lawn sunflower or some sparkly ping-pong balls or some peat moss or some plastic sword. Usually the gifts would have some sort of significance to a dumb joke we'd make all the time. I've forgotten most of them but I remember one was I went through a phase of saying "foiled again!" So I got several rolls of tinfoil (we made a bunch of tinfoil hats which I learned its hard for those to not slip off your head). The one constant gift is always some sort of terrible children's picture book where each page is altered both in the dialogue and the pictures to tell some horrific tale. Each book was a masterpiece. That is how my friends and I did christmas and birthdays.

We have no idea what is just a pause in his speaking or an actual break between letters. It's hilarious. It's a pretty easy one though that if you have even a few letters you can probably get the word since they aren't that similar. The one with all the homonyms is the best for sheer confusion.

Secret Santa Interruption: I don't know who my santee is yet. My plan this year is to give that person an assortment of gifts made by the mafia community. I have made nothing, so the gifts will be things I buy made by mafia players. So far I have Cash or Crash in the package by itself. If you have something for sale that you've made, please PM me a link to a place I can buy it. Thanks.

Yes everyone sign the hell up right now it's going to be awesome!!! Also merk if you pay me for supplies and shipping I can maybe make something for your secret santa. PM me if you're interested and some ideas about what you might want made and we can work something out. It could be a scarf or a stuffed whatever or something practical like potholders or a pillow with a design on it since I recently learned how to do two colour designs. It could even be a written message and oh my god I just had a great idea for my secret santa I need to write this down!

Santa is real but the present he gives is the time in which you currently reside. Yes, that's right. Santa is central to the existence of this part of the multiverse.
