It Must Be Christmas...

...because, apparently, every girl on the freaking planet wants diamond jewelry (according to Monday Night Football advertising, anyway).  Personally, I don't know what the heck is the big deal with diamonds - beyond that they're stinking expensive and sparkle like Edward Cullen.  I can see the big hoopla if a guy is asking a girl to marry him, but last I checked, a guy traditionally gives a girl a diamond engagement ring.  Not a necklace or earrings (but what do I know?)

Speaking totally for myself, if I had a significant other (pffft... riiiiiiight...) and he was going to spend money on me, I'd rather he take the money and buy me something of real value.  Like a Wii.
