I am not one that is very interested in getting stuff at Christmas. I don't need more stuff that will sit in my closet or garage. I try to keep the clutter down, except my bookshelves and desk. I don't want to be given anything expensive. I've learned that the more it is, the more likely that it will need to be returned. Best gift you can give me? A cool, weird plant. Next? A nifty T-shirt that no one else around me has.My sister has picked up on the wacky side. This Christmas she gave me a box that contained a cool t-shirt and a catalog from Skulls Unlimited. Perfect.
See, my sister is an RVT. Think registered nurse for vets. She loves anything that deals with animals and the more icky gore, the better. Where I would toss my cookies at the beginning of a surgery, she revels in it all (All those CSI episodes when they check out the body, she's in heaven). So giving me a t-shirt with all kinds of skulls on it, along with the catalog (as if I wanted to have one on my desk), just fits.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I'm using the holiday time to put together more posts. My wife reminded me that I haven't written in a while.
