Christmas Gifts

[Broham]

I've been with my GF for almost a year now (Dec 15) and she keeps hounding me about getting her one of those ipod touch things for X-Mas.

I'm not too excited about dishing out $300, although she keeps saying she wants to spend a crapload on me. The problem is, I'm about 98% Athiest and it would be hypocritical to not believe in the true meaning of x-mas yet expect to benefit from the commericial side of the holiday.

So I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger or not. I might try to get her something less expensive, but more creative and thoughtful (and that looks expensive.)

Any ideas?

Also, I'm trying to figure out something to get her parents as well.

be a man of principal and tell her that you are atheist and that you think it would be hypocritical to benefit from the commercial side of the holiday when you do not believe in the holiday.

i would never spend big cash on someone that i was just dating either, especially on one present.

Has she earned it? Sure give her one, but only if she really really earned it. Then you can borrow money from her and never return it.


For father, give him a chess or backgammon board with figures or bumerang, or a Ninja sword.. For mom, a receipe book.. But again, have they earned it.. If not, you will come off as a nice guy.

Isn't Christmas just an atheist holiday now anyway????
