I have nine siblings, two parents, and two stepparents composing the bare minimum of my holiday gift-buying routine (before I even start thinking about extended family and friends) which means the holiday gift-buying routine must start terrifyingly early in order to be a non-stressful process. (Although I'll admit the year my sister and I hit up Threadless and bought all the kids on my mom's side of the family t-shirts was great. Maybe we should do that again. Maybe I shouldn't talk about it here if we're going to...) I'm not a particularly brilliant gift-giver, and I really wish I were. My usual uninspired-ness does make the occasional perfect choice super exciting to me though...

In other news, having neglected to get my wisdom teeth pulled out, I'm pretty sure at least one is starting to come in, and it kinda hurts. Ow. Now I understand why little kids cry all the time while teething. (Exaggeration -- it's not that bad.) I'm not sure if this is normal tooth-breaks-through-gum hurt or the kind of hurt that indicates I should probably get them out soon, but it's further incentive to go see a dentist like I should have ages ago.
