What I'm getting for the holidays

I'm getting nothing and I'm quite happy about that. I'm extremely lucky in that I really don't need anything. My birthday was last month. I got good books, a blue sweater (it's in the pile with other blue sweaters), and a pair of winter running briefs that keep key parts from freezing. Without those running briefs I could find myself in need of something that's quite hard to buy at the mall.

This isn't about simplification, sustainability, religion or anti-consumerism. It's just reality. Judge Smails was right, "you'll get nothing and like it!"

First one to name the film gets ... yep, nothing. Happy holidays.

  1. I'll join you in going back to 1980, when "Caddyshack" first made us laugh.

    You know where not to send my prize.

    Merry Christmas, Jim!

  2. I got home last night and my wife and daughter bought me a shirt and sweater. I'm returning one. So actually I got something.

    For those late on getting something, here's help:
