Christmas Shopping

I'm an absolute scrooge, I hate going to the mall around this time of the year. There are so many people all rushing around with shopping bags loaded with presents and I can barely breathe inside the damn stores because the thermostat is turned up so high and all these people are pushing and shoving while asking loudly for the opinions of their significant others what they should get for Aunt Shirley. Meanwhile, I'm of course trudging along with the crowds trying to figure out what I get for various people while knowing that they'll throw most of the stuff in the back of their closets or exchange the presents in January. On Christmas Day, instead of spending time with family, I'll just get my ass bored off sitting at home and watching the rain fall because it never snows on Christmas and my family never spend Christmas together anyhow since we don't care about the holidays enough to fuss about stuff like this. Besides, we argue like hell whenever we sit together at the same table.

To cheer myself up, I made a list of things I want for Christmas because I am an insensitive and materialistic girl.
