Sue: and what would Jesus do?
me: lol
  i think jesus would support gift cards.
Sue: or is he even relevant in Christmas or something we tack on to justify why we do this. Yup. Jesus would totally be for gift cards. lol.
me: then again, He didn't always seem so practical. walking on water? kinda ridiculous.
  oh. is jesus involved in christmas?
Sue: do you really think his disciples sat around thinking - now what should we get Jesus for his birthday?
me: "dude -- i'm totally out of myrrh."
Sue: lol fofl
me: :)
Sue: just made my day
  myrrh is the burial spice ... weird birthday gift.
me: creepy.
  not the best gift givers, apparently.
  "it was on sale.."
Sue: one of those token - what do we get him kind of things - maybe it was on sale - great deal - like the nutcracker we got at the company Christmas party
me: LOL
  never understood nutcrackers, frankly
  maybe it was a white elephant gift!
Sue: me neither. They are very creepy looking too
me: i know!!
Sue: you know back to the myrrh idea - if it is a burial spice -- wouldn't it be weird for your friends to get that for a gift?
  Mmm. You guys trying to tell me something?
me: kind of a bad omen, yeah?
Sue: totally
me: btw, i'm certain some of this chat will make it to my blog :)

Sue: so what did you ask santa for?
me: world peace
  end to hunger
  a pony
Sue: OMG me too
me: sweet!!
  maybe he'll get a discount price
  bulk, ya know
Sue: yah but what if he brings us myrrh
me: well....
Sue: instead
me: shit.
  white elephant for next year!
