Tank, you’re an idiot.

What happens if one starts a relationship before Christmas?

@tomcurda – you’ll have to buy her a present, of course. And she’ll buy you one.

The student may complete the exercise.

You’re supposed to end relationships before Christmas—-so you don’t have to give presents.

From the Urban Dictionary

“Cuffing Season: During the Fall and Winter months people who would normally rather be single or promiscuous find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be “Cuffed” or tied down by a serious relationship. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed."

Basically, if you enter into a relationship now, good or bad, your partner will want to keep the relationship going through Valentine’s Day.

New relationships before Christmas also require the obligatory visit to the new love’s parents, with all that it entails.

@Bob_MozarkYou know, being promiscuous can be a rather interesting “prolonged indoor activity”!

He can afford it, after all if he can afford the Sweatmatch, he can buy her anything she wants. And I’m sure she will not be intimidated at all.

I started mine before Christmas and it’s been three years.
