christmas, christmas time is near

So I've been working on making people's wildest Christmas fantasies come true lately. Er. Who am I kidding? I'm a grad student, so the fantasies must be sort of mundane and affordable. I've got my cousins and my #6 covered (all of whom, except for the infant, read this site, so excuse me for keeping those things mum), but still have to shop for two aunts, a grandmother who can and does buy anything she might want and my folks (ditto).

When deciding what to give to Hannah, I briefly debated buying her a baby "this is what a feminist looks like," t-shirt. However, I'm fairly certain her parents would hate it and summarily cut me off from the babycrack, so I have to be sneaky about her indoctrination. To compensate for the lack of a sassy t-shirt, I instead bought her a couple of books with feminist heroines and plotlines--the Paper Bag Princess and um, something else I can't remember. They'll never detect my plot if I stick to wholesome, educational gifts.
