The Importance of the RIGHT Present ...
on the first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight
so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to me ...
the second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves,
and very gently rung the necks of both the turtle doves
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to me ...I'm bad, I'm very bad. Both the boys have been teasing me today.
My sister logged in and interpreted the "voices" of the shiny little boxes
"Terri, Terri, if you just lift the tape a little, no one will know ..."I swear, I you'd think that after all this time, they would know me
oh, wait, they obviously do ...Tucker says, "You know, with my birthday only five days after Christmas
you guys have a lot of pressure. I'm gonna be pretty hard to buy for after
all my cool Christmas loot."
on the third day after Christmas, my mother caught the croup
I had to use the three French hens to make some chicken soup
the four calling birds were a big mistake for their language was obscene
the five golden rings were completely fake, they turned my fingers green
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to meIt's less than a week now.
Presents have been purchased, made and wrapped
packages are in the mail - many of them already beneath the tree
except
I haven't a gift for my best friend.I've thought of a hundred different things
But we're talking best friend here
It needs to be special! It needs to say things
like, "Thank God for the way you make me laugh,"
or, "You have an uncanny ability to keep me sane,:
or, "I'm grateful to have you in my life, thank you for being my friend"
WITHOUT saying ... "I'm so insecure that I over spent,
or so secure that I under spent, or so self-absorbed that I
haven't noticed that you already have four of these ..."The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay
so I gave the whole darn gaggle to the A.S.P.C.A
on the seventh day what a mess I found all seven of the swimming swans had drowned ...
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to me.You see my dilemma. It's six days before Christmas and I have
a best friend. I want to still have a best friend after Christmas.
Oh, I get it that it's not about the gift, it's the thought that counts.
I just don't want to hear, "What were you THINKING?!?"

Can you say, "SPA DAY!"
But it's so frakkin' expensive. How about a gift subscription to the BEST magazine in the world? I'm talking the ----> Smithsonian.<---- It's amazing. I'm not kidding. Tie Guy's best friend in the whole world got him one last year, and we fight over it.
It's truly cool. I swear it. Click on the link!
oops ... that's the wrong link. dangit.
Here's the right one.
Hehe!
Yes, the dreaded most important gift you will give all year long & you wait until right down to the wire!
You'll find it...I know you will!
I think the Grinch will come and spank you or something for playing with the Christmas Spirits......
So........no Chia pet then?
Write your friend a poem telling her just how much she means to you and then put it in a beautiful picture frame so she can hang it on her wall. A friend did this for me one year and it made me cry. It was so perfect and just what I needed at that time. I still have it in my kitchen and will keep it forever.
Or if she's physically nearby, a dinner out at a nice restaurant would be nice, just the two of you.
I kind of like the Chia Pet idea. heh.
Good luck. I know those kinds of gifts are stumpers. I'm making my best friend (for thirty years!) a CD of music with funny commentary by me in between songs.
the indoor decoration on the email you sent me was WAY COOL!!
Best friend gift: chocolate. Unless she /he has mitral valve prolapse. In that case, wine.. Also a Teetotaller? Um...cheesecake. Also lactose intolerant? Pecan Pie.
