I'm terribly sorry for being a very unoriginal blogger and posting a blog about the "most wonderful time of the year". Yep, I used a copyrighted material in my blog again.
Anyways. Christmas. Fuuuuuuuuun. I wonder why people bother going out and wasting money to buy unnecessary gifts that might not be appreciated, while there are homeless people who would actually appreciate someone buying them something as simple as a bagel and some tea. Since when Christmas was about tangible gifts? Oh yeah, since the invention of this money-gobbling, human-operating machine called malls.
40% OFF ANY CHRISTMAS THEMED OUTFITS! (does that actually happen?)
25% OFF ANY SNOWFLAKE PATTERNED PAJAMAS! (that's the only Christmas-y pattern I could think of)
And so on, and on, and on. Funny how a simple holiday makes you a better, much nicer person, eh?
Here is a tip if you're one of those die-hard Christmas shoppers: if you're ever stuck on what you want to get your close friends/family, you should make a craft and give it to them. Or better yet, make some pie or cake, because everyone looooooves food, even better! give them chocolate. Chocolate is the thing people cannot live without. Yes, indeed. Remind me to make a post about that. Such a delicacy deserves its own blog post.
P.S I'm thinking of a creative signature to put at the end of my blog posts... The signature at the bottom is uh... The only thing I could manage at this moment.

Naming Your Children
How many of us have been blessed with a common, you're-stupid-if-you-spell-it-wrong name?
Well, I don't know how many, but I can guess.
Dearest parents, this world is over 5 million years old, and I assure you, the name you're about to christen your child with has already been picked more than a million times. Although what I am stating right now is not a fact, it is indeed common sense. If you're about to name your child something along the lines of Bob Smith, then there is something askew with you. Or maybe your brain is more logical. But hey, if your brain was logical, you would name your kid something like Reason or Arithmetic. But please don't do that, because that will curse your child from the day of their birth. And you don't want to do that because you are a loving, affectionate parent... Right?
As I was saying, naming your children should be a big deal, and not something you decide on last minute. It's like writing the answer for the mathematical equation, but not showing the work, as the question has stated (what is with me and math?!). And don't think spelling the common name "uniquely" will solve the problem (E.g Kady- pronounced as Katie... Yep. A "Mean Girls" example. Darn it, a copyrighted example again!). The only option for you, soon-to-be-parents, is that you must invent a name. It must sound hard because I can hear you cringe in your seat all the way from there... Wherever you are. Alack, no! It is not as hard as it seems. Simply think of something your teenage child will not be embarrassed of.
You were a teenager once too, remember?
And no, I didn't laugh when I typed this up. I am fully serious... Can you believe that?
Sincerely,
A
