Gridskipper Gift Guide: For The Sad Sap


Wednesday, December 13, 2006

christmas-for-one-dvd.jpgThe fact that it is absurdly cliche does little to ameliorate the fact that spending Christmas alone might be the most depressing situation one might find oneself in. That one has a DVD player makes the tragic tableau a little less cut-your-wristy; that said DVD player is playing a DVD of pre-recorded dinner conversations with an imaginary partner makes the meal almost festive. gift_guide.jpgThat the conversation is in Dutch is, for most of us, a downer. That someone else bought this DVD for you instead of actually spending the holidays with you is enough to make you want to end it all. And the possibility, hazy though distinct, that you bought the DVD yourself is cause enough to make this Christmas your last. DVD €7.50.
