I went to a wine bar with two friends to exchange our non-Christmas gifts. We said we weren't exchanging gifts, but they both came with food presents. 

The waiter came over, and I held up one of the gifts. I said, "Does this look like a Christmas gift to you?" He was a little surprised and said yes, not sure about the question. I then proceed to agree and share that weren't supposed to exchange gift but why look, gifts! 

It was the first time I can remember in a long time, feeling spunky, spontaneous, funny, edgy. I felt something. I felt like myself.
