Secret Santa

It all started last week with a radio program. They had a piece on secret Santa. It was quite surprising to know that.... A good amount of people despised this idea. Buying gifts for people you do not know. And more importantly, ending up absolutely useless gifts because your secret Santa did not know what you are.

I had to smile at this. Basically, I was happy to know that I am was not the only one to dislike this game. Every holiday season, I have to rack my brains over the secret Santa they play at Kiddo's school. I personally do not like the idea of doing stuffs for the sake of doing it. And Secret Santa ends up being just that!!!

But then, this week.... Things took a complete U turn. Couple of my friends were playing this game in their various circles. And... Well their excitement levels... The amount of effort they have taken to find the appropriate gift... The surprise element... The happiness quotient that went into this picture... Well... That was simply amazing to watch....

Happy Holidays to Everyone
.... Mmmmmmuah!

PS.
If any one is planning to send me a secret gift... Please make sure its an house elf who can take care off all the boring stuffs at home with 0 input from me O:-)
Oh! Wait! That elf is called husband!
Erase! Erase!
There is no need of any secret gifts... I will pass this one for the peace I now have.
Phew!

Change in Worth

She1 {irritated at the herculean task}: He is not worth it!
She2 {equally irritated}: Exactly what I thought!

And the Shes go back to their life.

As an observer what interested me was.... The He had been a strong support to either of them during their worst. Even today, if there is a genuine need... I am sure he would still be there for them.

Okay...  Okay... I will leave some room for the obvious :-P

Chances as high that he would still be there for them.....

Yet... Today... When they speak of those light-hearted interactions... Neither wants to do it with Him. What changed?

Actually... More than the logical reasoning behind these whats & whys... When I look at it... It is interesting to see the varied parameters & their new forms. And to add to it... They are still changing... Lets see how they change further...

Errr... But... Soooo not worth the time... Even for a social scientist!!! :-D
