Even though I am less than impressed that the mail was not delivered yesterday, I still want to get the carrier something for the holidays. I’m at a loss here, because I am very bad at giving gifts to people I don’t really know and I’m not sure if going the clichéd route is the best idea. I thought I could perhaps go for an ULTRA cliché, and get one of those Tim Horton’s mug pack thingies – not a lot, but just as a “thanks for putting up with my hundreds of internet packages and also for that one time you took my resume to give to some guy even though nothing ever came of it”.

Do you give gifts to the various people in your neighbourhood? In your neighbourhood? In your neighbourhood? Do you give gifts to the people in your neighbourhood; the people that you meet each day?

If so, what? Should I just stick with my original plan and not fret that it’s a cliché, or try to think of something original? I don’t interact with anyone else – ever – so the mailman is really the only utility-type person I’m thinking about gifting during the holidays. Is it truly the thought that counts, or should I at least try for the wow factor?

Of course, all this is moot – my “keep Kimli off the street” money isn’t coming this week as scheduled and might get here next week, maybe, if Canada Post (oh look, irony) actually decides to come out, so I’m officially canceling Christmas because I am too poor to play along.

I have much woe.
