I think Iapos;m addicted.

To ebay.

Again.

Iapos;m sorry...itapos;s the best way to buy Christmas presents that people actually WANT and not have to pay $2048953905873495834753945.

Example...

I got a pair of $295 jeans for...wait for it...$20.50. Helllooooo. Good deal.

But this brings me to whatapos;s been bothering me the last few days.

Have you ever felt like YOU are the only one that puts ANY thought into your Christmas gifts? Like...seriously?

My aunt is one of the toughest people in the world to buy for. Always has been. This year, I thought and thought and thought. I remembered her saying that she didnapos;t have any birthstone earrings or a necklace. So, for WEEKS I searched for the PERFECT pair of earrings and the perfect necklace. I FINALLY found it and I jumped on it IMMEDIATELY. Now, I put about two months into planning and execution of ONE gift, right?

She goes to JC Penneyapos;s and buys me a screen printed sweatshirt with a dog on it. WTF?

A. I donapos;t wear screen prints of animals with catchy little slogans on them. Iapos;m 30...not 50.
B. How much thought did that take...really? I mean...I donapos;t care if you spend $3 on a gift for�me...as long as you THINK about it. Iapos;m her Goddaughter for heavenapos;s sakes. Take a minute. Ponder what I might want. Hell, ask my mom for all I care. But DO NOT just buy me a screen�print sweatshirt with a dog on it and say "Yeah, Iapos;ll just get her that."

I donapos;t know. It just bothers me. And my mom is the SAME way this year. "Oh, well Iapos;ll just buy you stuff for your kitchen." WTF? Thatapos;s the easy way out. EVERY gift (of the 15+) that Iapos;ve gotten her is something that she loves/collects/or I saw it and thought of her. I just...I donapos;t get it. When did Christmas become this way? Itapos;s not even about the damn gifts. Itapos;s that you THOUGHT of someone. I mean...right? I donapos;t know. And when I say THOUGHT of someone...I mean you THOUGHT about what they would like.

Iapos;m just burnt on this whole thing already. After this weekend, I will be almost completely done shopping though...so no biggie.

More later...
