Your least-wanted Christmas gift list

[shereads]

Making a wish list for Christmas has always seemed a bit grasping. Where's the magic in opening a present if you know it's going to be something you picked out for yourself?

This year, I'm providing a list of my least-wanted presents and hoping to get something great by the process of elimination. It's an imperfect system, but if it increases the odds that I won't get these boots, what more can I ask?

Feel free to post your own, just in case your mom is looking for ideas here.





What I really don't want for Christmas:

Another thing I'd love not to get for Christmas is a beige or tan Honda Accord like mine and the other five just like it parked in the same row.

No thank you!

I don't know why everyone always gets me these. Probably because I'm a gadget freak: Anyway, I have about twenty, most of them broke down before New Year's eve.

Still, I'll bet it's easier to find in a crowded shopping mall parking lot than a Honda Accord.

Not that I don't think this is cool, but it seems like I get at least 2 every year. I just don't have space for any more.

I keep getting given this and objects on a similar theme. I guess they're fun for a while, but the constant headache annoys the fuck out of me!

Ok, that didn't work. I'll attach it in the post below.

The flames at the heel. Looks like early stages of being burned at the stake.

Often there may be no way of finding out, but I would hate to buy or receive something that a child made while in enforced or desperately necessary labor to stay alive or help his or her family survive. I really wish we could know under what conditions our purchases are made, grown, etc. I know that no 'owner' is going to label somethng, "This designer silk blouse was made by ten year old Manuelito in just one 16-hour day for which he only took one toilet break".

I mention children because I think their labor most egregious, but there are too many men and women also who labor for the merest of necessities. I can't help thinking about them all at this Christmas time which is focused on children and family.

Well said. I used to covet a Persian rug until I found how many of them are now made. *sigh* Who can see beauty when that is behind it? "The Milliners" is past a hundred years old now, but Jameson's source says it well - in very loose paraphrase, "I cannot now take any pleasure in the spectacle of a court ball, for I see only a dozen of these poor girls laid in their graves."

Move to Canada Sher. I don't recall seeing a Honda Accord since the 80's Always guaranteed to find it.

The only thing my WHOLE family hopes is for Grandma to not cook another thing in her life. Bless her sweet, old forgetful heart!

Here is crossing my fingers that we don't get health cookies! (that is chocolate chip cookies, which strangely contain kidney beans, sans chocolate.)
