I just got home from Christmas dinner, my stomach is telling me I'm not ready to go to bed.
So I make a stop at the convenience store and there is the usual Tamil cashier. People complained when they demonstrated the sacking of their homeland, but so what, they work hard for their money. He's doing the graveyard shift while working on his engineering degree. He asked if I had a good Christmas. So I gave him some wisdom from a much older man.
Christmas is for kids, if you buy gifts for adults you're throwing your money away. Keep it cheap and cheerful. And once you get married never, EVER, buy jewelry for your wife at Christmas. If you do, you deserve everything you get the rest of the year. He looked at me wide eyed and said, "Oh wow".
Happy holidays.
