we are the pretty petty thieves

A fleeting moment of calm during my shopping trip up town for a few Christmas presents I needed to get. Why is it that every year I forget that I find shopping areas a total nightmare during the lead up to Christmas?? Plus, what is it with all this over the top extravagant gift buying?? Surely people don't have the money to pay for all the crap they're buying? There is something really wrong about the shops this time of year - they make you think that the gift you have got someone is not enough...maybe you could buy another token gift to go with your original present?? NOOOOOO!! Enough with the consumerist bullshit. It ain't gonna make you happier you know.
