Only 40 days until Christmas! If you don't feel like continuously checking the various websites on the internet that countdown the days, you can also conveniently walk into any Wal-Mart and they have a countdown hanging above the entrance to the store. How comforting. Of course, theirs counts down the "shopping days" until Christmas. How commercially capitalistic.
However, even though I think it's still a little too early to be bringing out the decorations just yet, I do NOT think it's too early to start listening to Christmas music. I've already begun to ease myself into the season by turning on my copy of the Love Actually Soundtrack. "Easing" because they're admittedly not ALL Christmas songs on the CD--the ones that aren't are just mushy-gushy love songs that are getting me all sappy anyway.
I went out for breakfast with Señorita today and we were discussing her early Christmas purchase for her boyfriend. She told me that she went ahead and bought her boyfriend a new wallet.
Oh no.
In my personal experience with men's wallets, either giving them or hearing of other girls giving them, VERY few men have ever really been enthusiastic about receiving a wallet as a gift. The one guy I bought a wallet for, took two years before actually starting to use it. Unless they NEED it, guys will NOT buy themselves a new wallet. Unlike us women who change our wallets/purses depending on the hour of the day, men use their ONE wallet--whatever colour or fashion it comes in--to the DEATH. And if it's a good wallet to begin with, then that could be a very long time from now.
In the end, I think I (and the male servers around us) convinced her to return the wallet.
You're welcome, AJ.

I got a wallet from a chick once, and I used it right away. That was 7 years ago, and I'm still using it (British pounds don't fit too well into North American wallets, but oh well)...
