In which the Bad Idea Fairy talks about holiday shopping

"Hello, everyone, it's the Bad Idea Fairy here,

with holiday shopping wisdom for your

horse-loving friends and fans!"

The Bad Idea Fairy and her Purploosa stallion HF Hold My Beer and Watch This

All y'all, I am six bajillion years old, and I know a lot of stuff about holiday gift-giving.  So listen up because this is my very best advice for finding good presents:

• People like stuff.  Give them stuff.  White cotton underwear is always a good bet.  
• If you don't know the right size, buy everything in your own size.  That way, if the gift doesn't fit, people can always just give it right back to you.  (PRO TIP: buy stuff in your favorite colors to make this easier)
• Don't worry about allergies and diets--those are for sissies.  Give everybody your favorite candy and if they don't like it, see the suggestion (above).
• Wait until the very last second to shop.  You don't want to miss out on the fun of the icy streets, the extra traffic, the adrenaline rush, and the crowded stores!
• Don't buy stuff on sale.  What are you, a cheapskate?  Sheesh.
• Get stuff that needs to be shipped.  The Post Office needs more opportunities to prove that they don't always drop gifts into mud puddles. You're doing them a favor, really.

Whatever you do, DON'T GET STUFF THAT WILL MAKE ANYBODY SMARTER! 

You don't wanna look bad by comparison, do you?

• And finally: don't gift an e-Book that will be delivered instantly, with no tape or stamps or mud puddles or anything.  

ESPECIALLY A BOOK THAT'S ON SALE THIS WEEKEND!

Nope, the very last thing you should put in your shopping cart is gift copies of that Endurance 101 e-book, especially since it's on sale until midnight on Sunday, December 9th.  

Don't click this link to the sale price on that book.

Just don't.  Because you know that all y'all should be like me.

I'll think about shopping tomorrow...or maybe next week...or the week after...
