Christmas Giving
Dec. 9th, 2009 07:07 pmSo Christmas is tight... well, Christmas is alllways tight, but this year it's super-tight, like bake-everyone-cookies-oh-well tight... which I honestly don't think it ever really has been.
I see that it's tight for a LOT of people... the tight varies, of course--for some of my friends it's scaled back to more than what I'd've done anyway cause they're just like that/life-stationed like that, whatever. And I realize that a lot of women on my friends-list will be cutting their own Christmas wants short... partly because less cash in the household means less cash for someone to get them something, and partly because... well that's what women do--set their own stuff aside until others are taken care of, even if that sometimes/often/always/whatever means that their stuff never gets dealt with.
I also have come to realize that I'm clearing out my closet/house/life/whatever... and trying to make it more sane*... and I'm tossing/donating/etc a lot of things. Things that could be useful to someone, things that might make them happy... sadly, mostly not things that are worth a billion dollars or anything, but still...
So here's the deal... mailing things is pretty cheap, and while things are tight--they aren't so tight I can't mail out some of those nifty flat rate packages...
Give me your name and address, and I'll send you a something. It won't be something worth a billion dollars, but it'll be something nice and/or useful, it'll be in the spirit of sharing and joy, and it'll (hopefully) give us both something nice that happened.
I will say... if you're a plus sized girl (and I know there's more than one on my friendlist), I'm about a size 28 currently, and I'm getting rid of clothes that are about 22-24-26... I totally send you some. Who doesn't need a new/different sweater?

**the desire to have something happen and the urge to act upon said desire are NOT THE SAME THING, so don't freak out, yo. :)
