Don't make or ask for Christmas lists
Photo: H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock/Getty Images Every year for Christmas, I want one thing: money. Is it because I’m a Grinch? No! It’s because I’m a person and I live in the money world, where you need money.
Lists are the provenance of dictators. Think about who makes them: teachers assigning homework; the DMV when you want to renew your license. And now we make our own prison of online lists when we start shopping for holiday gifts months in advance, our synapses hijacked by advertising that promises more and better deals. Our brains are already shopping carts.
None of this is to say that we should be blindly wading into the holiday gift waters with no direction. By all means, pay attention to what the people in your life talk about wanting so you can clock it for later, like a Christmas investigator. That’s smart and nice. They will be surprised that you heard them say how much they were coveting the butter lettuce from Zooey Deschanel and her ex-husband’s lettuce company, and that you cared enough to remember.
