the catalogs are flooding in, in order to do the early xmas shopping.
my family has announced that we’re not exchanging gifts this year. this is not such great news for me, personally.
actually, it was mom and amy who made the pronouncement. i think dad is already buying gifts anyway, because he likes it. dad can be very quietly subervise, what with the covert buying of gifts and all.
i think that those of us who enjoy buying the gifts should buy them, but for the others who get ALL STRESSED OUT BY XMAS, well, then, they should relax and not buy anything.
i always ALWAYS like giving gifts better than getting them. i think at least once i’ve gotten something REALLY GREAT, but usually, getting the gifts is very anticlimactic.
anyway, that’s not what i’m writing about right now, that’s just an aside – we got this one catalog called AUTOM. some of the stuff is kind of nice. it all has a religious-type slant to it, which is fine for the religious-type people.
HOWEVER, i feel that they CROSSED THE LINE.
in addition to the crosses and the many many nativities and stuff like that, for $24.95, they’re offering a CROWN OF THORNS.
why?
why?
why why why why why why why why?
do you get the crown of thorns for the machocist on your xmas list? do you get it for somebody who you don’t really like, who you think needs a little pain in their life? do you get it for somebody who you find to be rather jesus-like, and therefore they need some ACTUAL PAIN and suffering????
the ACTUAL CROWN OF THORNS comes with a certificate of authenticity.
THANK GOD.
ok, i figure you probably think i’m making this up, so here is the link to the page on their website:
crown of thorns.
something to make you smile on an otherwise bleak sunday night.
ok then,
grace about to order a gross of crowns of thorns, just in case i can’t find anything more appropriate for my loved ones this xmas season.
