All in One

Not that the holiday has to be done without gifts- I have no problem with the ritual of gift giving. I think it is an important part of the spirit of the holiday. If we buy a gift that truly fits a person, we are in a way showing how well we know them and how much we care- it’s a symbol of that relationship- the abstract is made a bit more concrete in a very meaningful way. But if we are directed (and direct others) aren’t we taking that connection and symbol away?

No, I did use those as search phrases, but I had to move things around. There are a few things technically wrong- 1) alphabetical order would not allow the list to exist in the order I wanted- 2) if you search for “ipod” none of this would have come up.

Ah, okay. Pretty cool technique, I like it. And in response to your edited text and questions: "No."

Ok, as long as what I buy you doesn't end up on ebay.

Provided it's a good bottle of hooch, it won't. I'll even give you a nip if you treat me nice.
