I was hoping to have had an awesome brainstorm by now. One that woulda left me with, like, a gazillion ideas about things to make for Christmas.
I tend to overbuy this time o’ year — who doesn’t, right? — and I don’t want to do that this year. Not only is it stupid, it seems a little unclassy, what with the economy bottoming out and all (I imagine a tacky, tricked-out import that’s lowered too far driving over speed bump, to illustrate both ‘bottoming out’ and ‘unclassy’). Instead, I wanted to make something for people. But what?
Well, I never had that brainstorm. And I haven’t had a lightbulb flash on over my dome yet. But it is December, time’s a wastin’ and I don’t know if there’s enough of it to not only come up with an idea but also execute it. So, my next thought? Donations in other people’s names. Or giving tree kinda stuff — find places that are getting lists from kids & fams and then delivering donated presents. Not sure exactly what to do, but I’ve still got a little time to work it out.
What about you? Making any changes to your holiday prez-givings this year?

re-gifting the useless $3.99 bath/body crap my mom buys me EVERY YEAR at ross. i told her to stop buying it for me because i never use it and to me it seems to embody all that is wrong with xmas (so i never get rid of it, it just piles up in my closet),and she said “then give it back to me! *i’ll* use it!”
sweet.
actually, now we just need a code name for our idea…
nice, bai! i think we came up with something finally (and by “we” i mean “luc came up with a great idea and i’m piggybacking it”).
