I didn’t know what to write for my Christmas post, but I finally had an inspiration and offer this post as my gift to all.

Santa’s Swag
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Culture
I decided to follow up the lighter post of a few days ago with a list of gifts and observations that I have compiled in the last year or two of gift giving. Currently my wife and I are limited on financial resources so most gifts here will put more emphasis on the thought process and be under $40 (my how times have changed).
Three notes about giving gifts that apply to close relatives and office workers alike:
- Kosher - It is imperative that you consider the person whom you are giving the gift. Do they have allergies, what are their styles, what do they enjoy. I find many things cool (especially tech gifts) but they would be horrible gifts to some other people (especially to anyone over 50). Once again, it depends on what the recipient enjoys and can use, not what you like or think is cool or useful.

Merry (to Me)
Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Websites
I have been considering, lately, what to get my in-laws for Christmas. They are puzzling; I could ponder for months and still pass them a gift card… I have decided to apply the LCD (lowest common denominator to a primary schooler). Really quite a revolutionary idea, I will make the mirth of gifts available to all of the onlookers and perhaps the humored recipient as well.
Here are some of my ideas:
Kopi Luwak Coffee- Its the bile patina that you will relish. Roasted at 98F, and sorted by men of questionable habits (savoring the wak of lewaks), this bold and tangy bean is my top choice for this seasons greeting.
20 million candle torch- If your brother in law is a poacher, he will love the ability to spot and drop animals up to 200lbs, without even firing a shot. This torch likely has the ability to illuminate and fry the liver of an endangered species at 200 yards. Also remember that no matter how big an intruder is, his retina is like shrink wrap once you spot him with this must have.
