“Aw, thank you!”
“I know I haven’t visited much, or called, or texted, or written - to you, at least; Mom and me talk all the time - and I’m doing this more out of obligation than anything else, so I figured I’d complete the act of not socially engaging with you by outsourcing the emotional labor to someone else’s servers and algorithm to deliver you the perfect gift.”
“Oh cool, it’s a Snoopy tie. With a Santa costume.”
“Merry Christmas!”
