Dear Minx, Every year I use a great Christmas party trick - tying some mistletoe to my belt buckle. The girls love it, and they guys are always impressed! ~SlickWillie Dear Slick, Gee, thanks for the tip. Do you know my favorite Christmas party trick? Rather than obliging every loser who stands under the mistletoe with a kiss, I like to knee them in the nuts. Impresses BOTH the guys and the gals! Dear Minx, I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, and now the season is ruined for me! What should I do? ~Humbug Dear Humbug, Could be worse, hon. Coulda been Daddy kissing Santa. Dear Minx, My girlfriend has been hinting that she would like some toys for Christmas, but she never gets specific when I ask her what kind. I find Toys-R-Us a daunting place during holiday season - too many to choose from! I mean, what does she want, Fisher Price? Barbie? a Furby? Help! ~Suzanne's Man Dear Man, I think you are confused, you poor dear. What would a grown woman want with a Furby, especially since she probably already has one of her own? Think sex toys - again, the selection is boggling - but perhaps now that you know what she is talking about, you might better understand what to get her. |
Dear Minx, I am always at a loss as to what to get my wife for Christmas. Every year she bitches and moans about my gift, then either returns it for cash, or lets it sit in the closet. She has every expensive luxury item known to woman, and visits spas all the time (although I don't know where these things come from). What should I do this year? ~WitsEnd Dear Wits, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. She's probably got a fabulously rich boyfriend who keeps her in baubles and mud packs. Sit back and let him do all the work this year. After all, he'll probably be the only one getting something from her. Dear Minx, I have a new girlfriend this year, and want to get her something special for Christmas. Since we have not been dating very long, I have my doubts as to what might be appropriate. Jewelry might make too big a declaration, but something less might seem trivial and not very well planned. I would hate to mess things up this early in the game, so am relying on you for good advice. ~Worrywart in Wisconsin Dear Worrywart, Jewelry is always an appropriate gift for a woman! Just make sure you know what she likes before you make an investment ;) Seriously now, I understand the difficulties that so many people face at this time of year concerning "appropriateness" of gifts. Any gift given from the heart is an appropriate one. If your partner doesn't like it or doesn't understand it, then perhaps you should not be so eager to share your heart with that person. |
Dear Minx, I am sure we will be doing the "Secret Santa" thing at work again this year. Problem is, I hate everyone with whom I work. They are just a bunch of whiney bastards who take too many coffee breaks. I am pretty sure they all hate me too. How do I get out of it this year?? ~Grinch Dear Grinch, If you are pretty sure they all hate you as well, why not have some fun with this? How about digging out some tidbits from your cat's litterbox and wrapping them in some fancy paper? This is also a good way to get rid of last year's fruitcake. Or those extra-large Elvis-patterned boxer shorts which you received from Aunt Ida last year. Dear Minx, I am thinking of proposing to my long-term sweetheart this Christmas. I have not yet purchased the ring and think I might just be spontaneous and grab one at the mall when I am doing the rest of my shopping. Do you think proposing on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day would be more romantic? ~DiamondJim Dear Jim, Hold it just a second there! If the Minx would not accept mall diamonds, why should your fiancee-to-be? If you want to make such a serious commitment to her, how about making one with a bit more quality? Take time to learn about the product before you buy it; a cheap diamond is a cheap diamond. Doesn't she deserve better? Remember - all diamonds are forever (even the ugly ones), but you might not be after she sees it. |
