blog about the over-commercialization of the Christmas/Yule/Solistice holidays in the US and other parts of the world... in other words, me ranting about being exposed to it for fully 25% of my life... and how these holidays are losing their true meanings as we become desensitized to them...

Gift those who matter most.
That was the subject of an email from Red Envelope this morning. Now, while Red Envelope has great gifts for Moms, gift is NOT a verb.
What I found funny about the subject line is that gift is the word for poison in German. Heh.

There was a funny sketch on Prairie Home Companion this weekend about an English major who dumped her wannabe fiancé because he wanted to "gift" her with an engagement ring from Tiffany's. I relate -- grammar is important!
