Today I did my only day of Xmas shopping. I plan only to buy gifts for my wife Ashley, and I bought her exactly what she most wants. Three new video games for her new wii. I also stopped in at Suncoast, perhaps to find a gift for my mother-in-law, and saw that they were having a going-out-of-business sale. 40% off everything.
I haven't bought a DVD in ages, but I saw Salo in the foreign section and knew I had to get it. I clutched it to my breast to show off to everyone. Yet another Xmas gift for myself.
It's been a very interesting Xmas at the Knoecklein house. Helen bought Ash a wii and was fretting because she didn't know what to buy me like that. For she used to lavish all of her discretionary income on Jessica, and now she can't do that anymore. I moaned about it, for I so hate thinking about getting things for myself. But Ash pressed about it and I really gave some thought to what I might want for Xmas. The thought hit me suddenly: a drum machine, of course!
A few days more frenzied thought and discussion, and now we are here, the drum machine is on its way UPS! What exquisite excitement.
