I actually do have some culturally funny, not mishaps, but just observations to blog about. But I am going to wait until 2010 since for the rest of the year I figure everyone is probably on vacation and not reading my blog.

So how was your Christmas? I think I’ve mentioned before that Seba and I aren’t really big holiday people. No tree, no presents, no decorations. Neither of us are Scroogey. We give each other presents whenever we find something that the other would like during the regular year. But, searching before an actual holiday is too much pressure.

This year was no different. A few weeks ago, while we were in the U.S. I found a book similar to the David LaChapelle one that was on my fake Christmas wishlist for a mere 3k+. I should mention that Seba was also crazy about this book when we saw it in the flesh in Amsterdam at our hotel, and both he and I like things that will one day decorate the apartment we don’t have. So I gave that to him while we were in Miami, meaning I had nothing for him when December 25th rolled around.

Then Seba actually emailed a friend because he knew I loved her sunglasses. They were a bit out of our price range, which lead to him googling, “over sized sunglasses,” and he found some Miu Miu ones. He knows I love Miu Miu shoes because he had seen me fondling a pair in Italy. But, he wasn’t sure if I would love the sunglasses as much as the shoes, so in the end he told me about what he was trying to do. And I told him not to spend money on anything, because the mere fact that he had thought to try and hunt down some designer sunglasses that he knew I would love — even though he is scared of talking to people he doesn’t know — even though he thinks that spending money on designer anything is stupid — was more than enough to make my little heart go pitter patter.

Merry Christmas to us.

I love this. Mike and I both get each other our wants and needs throughout the year also, so we never shop for each other at Christmas. It's so much pressure put into one day and rather than focusing on the true meaning of Christmas, the focus always turns to the gifts instead. I hate that! So it sounds that in some ways, we're still more alike than we think Kyle!

Merry Christmas to you!!

hehehhehe. oh you make me feel so much more normal. I seriously don't know what we will do when we have children, because I soooo don't want to decorate a tree, or anything for that matter. I suppose we'll mooch off of grandma's christmas spirit, hehehe. Or maybe we'll just come to Chile every year because it's not nearly as crazy here as in the states!!!! V and my christmas gift to each other was not to get each other xmas gifts

Yeah, I am definitely with you – I think that just buying gifts that you see for people is much nicer than trying to figure something out in a rush for Christmas.
