I'm afraid, I'm very afraid. Today I must
start my Christmas shopping. I'm thinking of becoming Jewish just to get out of it.

4. I can't just say
Today, I am a Jew? Is there more to it than that? Many people have asked me if I'm Jewish, because "Jew" is part of my last name. Will that speed things along?

7. Hmmm, I don't think so, you'll have to ask a rabbi :)
I just stick with agnosticism, it's much easier :)

to GIVE presents, only TAKE them :)

3. get everyone the same thing
that way you only have to go to one store. I'd suggest Barnes & Noble gift certificates-one size fits all, and you'd be supporting a Blue store.

10. Dammit
It seems my plan has some flaws.

I wonder if I can convince everyone that I thought Christmas was next week?
