Holiday shopping is oh so divine It’s that time of the year, when humanity shines 50 people all fighting for the item of design, All of them grabbing and shouting “let go, it is mine!” 20 people in front of you on the only open line But, I’ll get my shopping done, I am resigned Somebody help me, please, throw me a lifeline If I get shoved by one more person, I’ll make my own headline “Woman out holiday shopping, brutally Murders Nine!” But the children’s faces, oh how they shine As they wait on Santa’s 2 hour long line How can we fault them when they start to whine? I would be too if I weren’t so refined Holiday shopping is oh so divine Does anyone know the shopping guideline? I wish I were outside enjoying the sunshine Instead of in this hellish holiday shrine Where all of humanity surely does shine! |

First, let me say welcome. Secondly, as far as the line "Does anyone know the shopping guideline?" goes... There are 3: 1. For women--never buy her anything that has a power cord for a gift. 2. For men--only buy gifts that need batteries. (And, yes, we can go to Wal-mart for those for ourselves.) 3. For kids--just make sure the box is stronger than the toy, 'cause they will play with the box a lot longer than they will ever play with the toy |

Thank you for the warm welcome, and the 3 most important shopping guidelines. I will keep them in mind as I fight the masses this week. |

   (big hugggsssssss) Oh Tobi, your wonderful debut speaks of the true pains and greed behind Christmas shopping, dearest friend, the true Christmas spirit comes in through the smiles of every boy and girl's heart and the love we all share together with our families and loved ones and friends, this year to beg my parents to avoid shopping hastles, I demanded much of my Christmas money to be spent for Heifer International to help families in third-world countries so their children can have happy holidays too, God Bless You! Welcome to Passions, sweet Tobi, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your wonderful words, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tobi, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

Thank you all soooooo much for your warm welcomes. You have no idea how important they are too me. I have been searching my soul for a long time, trying to find "myself" I feel as if for the first time in my life, I have come "home." And I am among people who are willing to accept me for myself. Again, thank you so much for making me feel part of your family. I look forward to spending much time with all of you. |
