Dear Ira,
How do you feel about Christmas? Personally, I hate it. I have to buy people gifts, or, even more dreaded, make people gifts.
Christmas, for me, is about doubting my abilities. Do I know so-and-so well enough to buy them this popcorn maker? Will they like it? Do I know them at all?
Or am I just a terrible friend grasping at straws because I am socially required to buy them a present towards the end of the year?
My fiance’s family is quite crafty when it comes to Christmas presents. I feel like I can’t compete with their craftiness.
I mean, come on Ira, I’m a writer. What can I do - write them a dirty haiku as a Christmas present?
Wait…do you think I could get away with that?
Patiently awaiting your reply,
Enna Stein
