Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for December 11, 2012

Cathy: This would be a perfect sweater for someone to buy me. If no one buys it for me, I might not be able to find one after Christmas...But if I buy it now and someone sees me in it, I'll ruin that person's big surprise. I will buy it, stash it away, and bring it out after Christmas only if I don't get another one! So far,"thinking of others for the holidays" has consisted of hiding things I buy for myself.

Just check it’s returnable, in case you do get given one.

I buy for myself in January since it’s my birthday month.

Ha! I would do this. If I like something so much, I’ll buy it to make sure I get it. I’ve tried telling others that I’d like it as a gift, but that’s no guarantee that I’ll get it. Plus, if the gift wears out, you’ll always have a backup.Good morning, millie p, Shyygirl and Susan!Hello to the rest of the nutty Cathy clan, including Aaron and Billy who we miss a lot!Happy belated anniversary, GretchensMom!!! I hope you all had a lovely celebration, and wishing you and GretchensDad many more happy years together

Happy day after your anniversary GretchensMom. I have already dropped several hints as to what I would like for Christmas but if I don’t get them, no problem. What I want is always available. Actually, this year I hinted at the movie “Brave”. Since we have booked the ‘Brave’ adventure in Scotland for next June I should, at least, see the movie. (Not really important though – just going to Scotland is exciting enough for me!) Hope everyone has a very happy day today.

At the moment Scotland is very cold and very dark! But it will be brighter in June.

“But, of course, I’m NOT a complete and total nut-job or anything,” Cathy continued.
[Sigh …]
Although, I have to say … I kinda see where she’s coming from on this one.
Kinda.

Hi Cathyites!! Back in the day, I might have done something like this — now I just take my hubby along and he always gets me exactly what I want and in the right size too. Then he takes me along and the same thing happens for him. Problem solved!!
