Since it's that time of year again, here are:
Ten Things I Do Not Want for Christmas
Appliances: This is an annual gripe, but really. I have two vacuums, two air fryers, two rice cookers, three coffee makers and every other electrical kitchen gadget known to man. Much as I love appliances, if I get any more as gifts I'll need a second house to put them in.
Art: I have finally run out of wall space, so it will end up in a weird place, like taped to the side of a bookcase, or hung in a closet.
Books: I have three TBR stacks at the moment that include books I got last year as gifts, so no, thank you.
Candy: Once again, diabetic here. I'm wearing that medical alert bracelet that no one ever seems to notice, too. I also have plenty of sugarfree candy, thanks.
Clothing of Any Kind: You probably don't know my size, or the fact that I wear a size larger on top because of my attributes there, which do not allow me to actually fit into my size. Also, I prefer to thrift my clothes and shoes because I can get them NWT and insanely cheap. Let's just skip this category of gift altogether, 'kay?
Facial Products to Make Me Look Younger: Aside from the implied insult that comes along with such a gift, not interested. Unlike senior ladies who cling desperately to the delusion that slapping on makeup and dressing like a teenager fools everyone into believing they're still twenty-something, I like looking my age. Being young sucked for me.
Music in Any Form: You've forgotten again that I'm basically deaf and can't hear music anymore. It's okay, everybody does.
Quilting Stuff: I already own it. Not kidding. Really.
Thread: See quilting stuff.
Yarn: It's too expensive to buy the new stuff, and I have thrifted so much yarn this year I have enough to keep me going until Christmas 2027.
