Christmas is around the corner and exchanging gifts is a part of the modern, western commercial culture. Being a member of this civilization I could not get away without indulging in the gift buying ceremony.  I love my friends and colleagues, and I don’t mean to sound like I am whining about spending time shopping rather than killing myself at the gym…It is a seriously difficult task to find a decent gift!!  

So yesterday I went shopping. I was tired after a day of doing nothing at work and reeling myself though n number of crowded stores, and swore that TJ Max was going to be my last store for the day. Suddenly, this angry young lass almost runs me over with her cart; she was talking to someone on the phone and these were the words that hit my ears “I don’t fucking need your gift, just give me the money…I don’t want anything, just give me the money…how much easier can it get for you, just give me the money”. The only thought that crossed my mind was ‘Tis the season for love and cheer?
