Another Christmas Gift-giving Strategy

As you know, I am trying to avoid going into malls, which I think would be counterproductive to all the intimacy work I'm currently doing. This means I try to spend a lot of time in yoga studios. In fact, a great gift idea came to me at my yoga studio. If you are looking for an inexpensive gift for an adult, I recommend buying some frankincense and myrrh incense at $2.50 a package, and give it to your adult friend with a gold card application. To add another whole dimension to the gift, you could sing "We Three Kings" while giving the gift. Yet another option for the singing bit: you could change your voice while singing each verse, pretending that you have multiple personalities.

Is this the part where you dress your cat up as a camel?

Agatha, another inspired posting! With you coming up with such clever ideas, I feel a weight lifted from my shoulders.

And while the gold card application with the singing in different voices makes your gift complete...

Perhaps a followup could be a few exploding cigars.

Can I buy frankincensse and myrrh at the yoga studio?

Can you get exploding cigars at the yoga store?

What about ladies underwear? The ones that are fantastic with no elastic?

Better hurry.... (and sorry that this message isn't very intimate intimate, Aggie): It turns out that a recent study by Dutch and Eritrean biologists has found Boswellia trees, whose sap is the source of all frankincense in the world, have been overtapped recently for the usual money-grubbing reasons. To do with Christmas, no less. The species may shrivel and die out, unless frankincense marketers back off for several decades....

So. How 'bout that myrhh, eh...?
