Let Me Guide You

This afternoon, my family and I completed our final Christmas tradition-- brunch (this year it was actually late lunch, but whatever) with my dad's side of the family. Usually, I dread this event, but this year, I actually had a really good time.

In fact, the whole holiday season has been pretty good this year, largely thanks to my boyfriend. Pretty ironic when you consider that Muslims aren't too big on Christmas.

Some things I learned:

1. Online shopping, while it may seem like a cop-out, makes much more sense when you want a good deal on holiday gifts, as long as you know what you're looking for.

2. Sex is the most excellent stress reducer.

3. "Spoons" is the ultimate holiday game; you can teach it to anyone.

4. Green bean casserole keeps me from overeating.

5. After Christmas sales are a great time to stock up on clothing basics (like plain jeans, slacks, socks, etc.), but you can't expect to find fashion pieces that will work past New Years).

6. People generally have enough shit. You really don't have to buy something for everyone you come in contact with on a weekly basis.

We made it another year guys, pat yourselves on the back.

1. Yes, it does. I hate the crazy moo-crowds and carols.
2. Yes. It is.
3. Never heard of it.
4. Casserole. Creepy.
5. They're great for getting anything. I bought a 10 dollar popcorn gift box for 5 dollars... and it came with a 20 dollar gift card for more popcorn.
6. Yeah... I like getting people things, though.
