The Yearly Ritual Channeling of my Hard-Earned Funds Towards Christmas Presents

(Co-written with Daniela)

We both love Christmas, but what stresses us out most about the holiday season is the prospect of shopping for gifts. The impending holiday provides a strict deadline for us to acquire the perfect presents for our friends and family.

Even though we love and are very close with the people for whom we are searching for gifts to give, we have the hardest time picking out appropriate presents that they would appreciate.

With seven friends in common, we struggle to pool together enough money to satisfy the demands of our high maintenance squad.

For everything to come out perfectly we must correctly time our online purchases so that they arrive at our homes in a timely manner for us to be able to wrap them up properly.

As we approach winter break, the desperation to get a good deal on purchases heightens, leading to the long lines of Black Friday sales. Black Friday sales tend to involve extreme amounts of glaring and shoving, and thus are not pleasant. But this is the only way to find a present to appease the disastrous mayhem crew I swing with. I swear, they thrive off of money, mishaps, and pure chaos.

Well, to say the least, purchasing presents for Daniela is such a thankless labor. She's so demanding and a complete nightmare. We're a dream team duo.

All in all, despite the holidays being an absolutely draining experience, it's a task I'm willing to take up to repay my thanks to the cool folks who are my friends.

God forbid any of them should find this article. They can't know I said nice things about them.
