But like most Christmas curmudgeons, my problems are all with the way Christmas is marketed. You might think that I have a problem then with ad agencies, but I don't. Marketers are smart people and they tend to do what works. If the kind of marketing we have didn't appeal to the masses, then they wouldn't do it.
So like a true mistletoe misanthrope, I suppose I have problems with humanity.
Okay, not really.

I saw a commercial last night; I don't remember what it was for, but that's not important. Some lady was talking about how much her sister had done for her, how much she loved her sister. Then she said it:
"This year, I wanted to give her a gift that shows just how much I love her."
Well, I want to do that for the people I care about too! So I did some brainstorming - what gift can I give someone that will show them how much I love them? Here's what I came up with.
- A kidney.
So don't worry mom. I love you more than a teapot's-worth. But I hope you like it anyway.

So does this mean that if I ever need a kidney I can count on you, or not? Mom
Aaron:
I'm worried about our friendship. I go out of my way to read your blog from our home dialup. It takes at least an hour, per post. Then I comment. I don't think you even READ my blog anymore. I don't see comments. Tony want comments.

You know what you have to do to make this whole thing right.
Okay, I'll try to make things right for Aaron. I'll give him my feedback, and I'll give Tony my kidney. Does that square it?
Did you ever think of the non material things that one could give someone?
