Gift giving makes me genuinely happy. It's not just that I don't feel like a total waste of air this year because others have gotten gifts for me and it's yet another year that I get no one anything, as in years past.

It's the same feeling I get when I hand out candy to kids on Halloween. It's nice. I scraped together some money playing mobile games and reselling on eBay. I got my mother an American flag to hang off of the porch, which is something she has really wanted but says is pretty expensive, spoiler it's not really. 

I paid 25 dollars for a decent quality flag that won't rip up, not those shitty ones that are thin as an onion skin. It's definitely nice and thick and not see through. And of course a good flag pole and not one of those fucky ones that immediately rust, which did come with its own flag but that one can be a wall hang as it is one of those paper thin pieces of shit that'll rip up if the wind blows.

It's always smart to read reviews with pictures of a product and look at what it's rated before you even begin to consider purchasing. And if you're gonna buy some cheap piece of shit don't even bother.

I got my brother a Pokemon calendar because this man is obsessed with Pokemon. He has an impressive collection of cards. I'm more of a football guy but I respect it. Our mother says he's difficult to shop for, but I think it's just that you have to take an interest in what the person you're shopping for is into and be smart.

I fulfilled my life goal of wrapping a small square box and putting a bow on it. This gift was for my niece, just a coffee cup with her initial and hot chocolate bombs. I read that those don't really taste great but they're fun anyway, I don't know.

And I got my dad some chocolate spoons. I heard him talking about those once. They're kind of tiny and won't reach the bottom of a mug bigger than eight ounces, but fun anyway. He can just eat them.

I got my granddad the world's largest Hershey bar.

I got my grandma the world's largest bath bomb.

I got my boyfriend a choker with bells on, well for me, to send him pics. 

Merry Christmas.
