This just reminded me of a good thread here. They were talking about Christmas cards and the mundane bragging that goes on therein, and one poster had the idea of creating fantastical stories in them, but never got around to it until too late in the year. It’s a pretty good time to start right now, actually.

As opposed to Paul in Qatar?
I just finished my major shopping for Christmas. Want to know what my wife is getting?
Second row center seats for **Viva ELVIS, **the brand-new Cirque show at Aria in Las Vegas.
The rest is fiddly stuff. 
Can’t I hate you for both?
I keed, I keed.
Seriously, I don’t even know who all I’m buying for yet. My immediate family and my boyfriend are obvious, but beyond that I’m still trying to decide.
I wouldn’t even consider hating you for demonstrating such a squared-away approach to the holidays.
I could hate you for not getting anything for me if you like. How would that be?
Anatomically correct? You mean it has a penis? :eek:
Waitaminute. You said anatomically “accurate,” not “correct.”
Carry on.
I’ve been amused recently by the great number of ads a guy has been posting around campus for his handmade, realistic models of human skulls. Only $135 each. (It’s not so odd that he’s selling them, it’s that the posters are all over the place, on bulletin boards besides roommate wanted and car for sale posters.) So now I know why - he does a booming trade in Christmas gifts! Wonder who I know who would like a skull?
