Ah Christmas

Throughout this rarely-updated, often neglected, never-given-much-thought-of blog the one thing I've commented on most is how I've grown. That's obviously a subject very few people are interested in, that's probably why I have no followers, but I digress. My mother is the kind of mother who likes family traditions and she never really had much as a child so I guess she wanted to give as much as she can to her children. So she sets aside $300 for each of her children for Christmas, not a huge amount of money, but she has six children, the youngest being 21, so it adds up once friends and extended family is included. She also insists that we all make a list of what we wanted her to get us for Christmas with that $300 limit, although my oldest brother and sister are excluded as they are now in their 30's and they just get money unless my mom is feeling extra generous (which she usually does). That sort of negates the need for my siblings to buy gifts for each other since we all know we'll be getting something for Christmas regardless. However we all still try if we have extra money, we usually don't since we all live hand-to-mouth and rarely save for rainy days.
Anyway, recently the items on my list have shifted from toys, collectibles, DVDs, or video games to clothes, something I found incredibly boring when I was younger. for the past four years I've only asked my mom for clothes at Christmas. Honestly I enjoy that, because I rarely buy clothes for myself as my attention is usually shifted to something tech-oriented instead. Oh well I don't know why I thought that story was worth writing down, I feel I should apologize for wasting any reader's time. Oh well..piss off. Oh and happy holidays.
