Christmas Memery
Posted By Russ Emerson on December 24, 2006 at 7:27 pm
Having been tagged by Stander, and not having done a meme in a while, well, it’s time.
The rules of the game: I whip up a quick blurb about 1) the 3 things I want most for Christmas, and 2) the 3 things I definitely DON’T want for Christmas. Then, I proceed to tag players B, C, D, E and F (that’s five other other people, for the sequentially-challenged) in the Comments section of one of their recent posts with a note leading to my post inviting them to do the same thing. Simple, easy, and free traffic for everybody involved. What’s not to love?
Here we go…
Wants:
1) Sing along with me: “All I want for Christmas is two working knees.”
2) I want one or two more cats. Too bad Mycah doesn’t play well with others.
3) Mostly, I want to see my family this year. OK, I already got that.
Don’t Wants:
1) Don’t get me something just for the sake of getting me something. I already have a lifetime supply of stuff.
2) Nothing girly. No scented soaps, no precious little figurines, etc. I like being a man, and would prefer not to be mistaken by visitors for anything else.
3) Please: no “self-help” anything. Ever. I believe in the principle of “it’s the thought that counts,” so if you send me something that implies I’m not already perfect in every way, I’ll know what you’re thinking.
