It happens every Christmas. The one gift you were counting on is a no show. All you are left with is rags of gaudy paper, some tears, and a feeling of vain loss. The sinking feeling that someone broke into your account and put a fruit cake on your Amazon wish list.
What's the answer to your holiday woes? Well, it's my little gift to you. Post your ill-advertised gift down in the comments. But do it anonymously. I don't want to hurt other's feelings here. Why the post? What's my story? Well, to be truthful, I did make out very well this Christmas. But sadly, I still don't have Paula Radcliffe's phone number.
Back to you, comment your confession and get it out of your head, like you were supposed to with your gift. Get it all out of the way and your vanity remains scratch free All that and you can keep your friends, family and love ones in the dark to your heart's secret desires. After all it is the holidays and everyone struggled to get you the wrong gifts.
Now, this was not inspired by my gifts today. I need to say that otherwise I'll have to deal with the drama at home. We all struggle to get each other the right gift. We try to drop enough hints. We leave open catalogs in convenient places like eyelids. Some of us rent billboards. And, sadly, sometimes you get the rose colored Nintendo DS and you wanted the Onyx one.
But, seriously, Paula...if you're ever in Texas...
