Being passive aggressive about Christmas

I am making a Christmas present list for myself.

I figure
(1) my family doesn’t celebrate Christmas
(2) my friends don’t have the tradition of exchanging gifts
(3) I am single this year.

In other words, no one but me is going to be buying me presents, so I’d might as well start crackin’!

My friends claim I am now expert in passive aggressive messages. I believe it’s in my genes. I admit there is a tinge of passive aggressiveness in the above paragraph and perhaps even in this entire entry. But in my defence, I am not publishing my wishlist! So actually even if I were intending to “passive-aggressive” my friends into buying me something, they wouldn’t know what I want!

On the other hand, as an expert recipient of passive aggressive messages (have you met my mother?) I could also see that people might think I am saying that now to guilt trip someone into asking me for my wishlist.

Oh well one just can’t win.

But ooh. Christmas! I love Christmas!
