Why the AG Always Makes a Christmas List

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me / A whole bunch of crap I didn’t need”

It’s the first week in December, gentlemen, which means our wives, mothers, girlfriends, sisters and/or secretaries will be power-walking their way through the Domain soon enough—credit cards and empty car trunks at the ready.

If you’ve planned ahead, the women in your life will have a wish list on hand, thus avoiding the mishmash of random gifts men seem to get during the holidays. Sorry ladies, it’s true. We love you more than ourselves, but you buy things sober in December that you wouldn’t buy drunk in July. Moms, especially.

So, while the AG isn’t interested in competing with the many “gift guides” for men, you can at least heed this advice: make a Christmas wish list.

Otherwise, your younger sister might try to buy you working cigarette-lighter cuff links. Does the AG smoke? No. Does the AG have an interest in lighting himself on fire? Apparently so.

Time to make sure your fire extinguisher is working, celebrate the season and start living life better.
