Why were you wandering through Sears? I did that last Saturday tying to find the door to the rest of the mall after having dropped Hebe at her Drivers Ed. PURE HELL. Ugly sweaters left right and center, way too many overpriced fleecy blankets and cosmetic sets and signs everywhere about "This is how to Gift"... I mean, I know gift is a verb, but why can't we just give presents? Like in the old days. Somehow "gifting" take what little humanity/personal touch there was in it and corporationizes it.

bah Humbug (Willy Wonker Brand, $6.99/lb, buy two, get one 36% off.).
