Silly Gifts for Christmas

For many, 2009 is going to be a budget Christmas and as we look at places to cut back, the silly novelty gifts come under scrutiny - perhaps we should leave them out and spend our resources on more serious, worthy, useful gifts...

Don't do it!

As our friends over at sillygifts.com.au tell us...

Silliness encourages: creativity, abstract thought, flexibility, laughter, wellbeing, positive thinking, energy, trust 

Silliness is an antidote for: stress, pomposity, pretentiousness, self-importance, self-absorption, embarrassment, fear, anger, negativity

Sharing silliness encourages: laughter, friendship, trust, confidence

Doesn't that sound like something you want at Christmas?

So make your cuts elsewhere.  Buy a bit less food because everyone eats too much anyway, and some gets wasted. Buy a bit less drink, get merry and have giggling fits playing with these novelties instead.

And make it a very merry, silly Christmas full of laughter and fun.
