Daddy, what'd you get me for christmas?

Son,

Come on now. You're better

Than that. Christmas isn't about gifts.

Gifts are just

A medium people use

To express feelings.

Like this year I got mommy's mommy a holiday emblem that isn't compatible with her religious views. It's not just a gift- it's a sign of contempt and an expression

Of the fact that I and mommy will run this family however we damn well please.

I also got my boss a sixty

Dollar gift certificate. I don't

Care if she enjoys it. I just

Want her to think I like

Her so she doesn't see me

As a career threat until

It's too late.

Oh! And I'm getting you an expensive video game set, even though it'll hurt your grades, I want other kids to see it and tell their parents how wealthy I am, thus increasing my status

In the community.

Bobby christmas shouldn't be about materialism. It should be about status consciousness and money-shame.

Later

A fire truck.

What did your father say to you?

What do you want

From me,

Mother?

The firetruck, being a common gift, indicates that you aren't special
