He could have bought the gift while he had the job, right? Weren't people assigned elves towards the end of November?Dumb*** did you even read that he doesn't have a job anymore? He went through with it and didn't back out when he clearly could have for good reason.
I signed up for this year's SS, too...but I backed out because I knew I was going to be tight with cash.
A crappy gift is a crappy gift...really $15 itunes giftcard? What did you receive from your Santa?
