What happened to the simple pleasures of the holiday season like:
-making snow angels
-scooping snow out of your pants after making snow angels
-tobogganing
-crashing into trees while tobogganing
-snow fights
-pretending you’re injured in a snow fight so that you can pummel those that come to your aid with snow balls at a closer range

I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired with the Christmas spirit being confused with the consumer spirit… Do yourself and those you love a favour this Christmas and give a gift that truly expresses how you feel, not how deep your pockets are: The Mixtape.

Yes, it’s true, some may say this is the embittered rant of a girl with limited cash-flow … but ME NO CARE. I say damn The Man and bring back The Mixtape as the go-to gift of choice!

And when I say Mixtape my friends, I mean TAPE, not CD. No effortlessly dragging and clicking your songs onto a disc. Take the time to press play and record on a tape deck (if you can find one … try an antiques mall) and put your personalized selections onto a damn cassette! Trust me, nothing says how much you care more than a tape filled with questionable music choices and illegible song titles. Happy mixing!

You’re Welcome,
Denise
