Saleswoman: Nothing says "I love myself" this holiday liek the $1500 cashmere sweater coat! Cathy: Um... it's supposed to be "you." Nothing says "I love you"... Saleswoman: Of course it is. But we long for simpler times. Cathy: Excuse me? Saleswoman: Flashy, extravagant gifts are inappropriate and put the recipient in an impossible position! Better to tss on your own $1500 sweater coat, $400 boots, $300 purse and $200 shades, hop in your $45,000 luxury vehicle... and deliver a nice, humble basket of homemade Santa cookies to a friend! Your self-indulgent materialism next to the sweet simplicity of your gift sends a powerful message about friendships and their ability to help us remember what really matters! Cathy: I think I'll just give her cookies in my normal clothes. Saleswoman: We also sell the homemade cookies! $64 per dozen, plus basket!
