13 things i’m happy i didn’t get for Christmas.
1. The gout.
2. Fingerless gloves or toeless socks.
3. The joke my grandfather kept trying to tell about the rabbi, the milkmaid, the goat, and Jerry Falwell.
4. An iguana.
5. Moldy.
6. Assless chaps (although, really, they’re ALL assless in the end. Pun intended.)
7. Any Time-Life musical collections bought from infomercials starring actors you can’t remember the names of.
8. Publisher’s Clearing House Jewelry (no, wait, I DID get that. Don’t ask.)
9. A teddy bear holding a heart that says “I Wuv You”
10. Shingles.
11. Stuck in an airport.
12. Caught in the rain (oh, and I don’t like pina coladas, either.)
13. Herpes.

Does this imply that you prefer socks with toes? Those are freaky weird!

I love! fingerless mittens. Mostly because I can’t function in regular mittens. My hands become almost completely immobile. True story.
Happy! (post) Christmas. I’m glad you didn’t get moldy, or herpes, or shingles, too.

I also dislike the fingerless gloves, even though all my knitter friends seem to think they’re pure awesomeness. They might be practical, but they just look weird.

I’m also glad you didn’t get a new sense of humour (complete with Canadian ‘u’)…your current one has always been quite sufficient! You’re a funny girl, Meg.
