I'm the kind of guy who usually appreciates useful gifts rather than sentimental ones. I like functional things, stuff I can use, stuff I need is just as good as stuff I didn't know I needed, and better than stuff I just want. (But my favorite car is also a white sedan so I'm a little boring...)
That said, this was the Ironic Christmas this year: there were <b>no</b> gifts at all, absolutely none, because Christmas is too expensive, according to my mother. So instead she organized a $600 lunch in a restaurant empty of people and empty of charm, that had mouse-sized food that tasted like shit and is now into her second week straight of blatantly ignoring her daughter, in private and in public. Yes, Christmas sucked this year and I pin the blame on my mother.
