Christmas Shoes

You know that really sappy Christmas song about the boy who wanted to buy some Christmas shoes for his dying mother? And then they made a retarded TV movie about it? Well, I, too, have my own story of Christmas shoes. It may not be as touching, but here goes:

For Christmas, my brother-in-law that lives in New York sent everyone presents. When I opened my present, it was a pair of shoes. They are cute - brown leather flats with black trim and little hearts, stars, and circles on them. I do like them and wear them frequently.

Now, Mike works at Marc Jacobs, the designer, in New York. My shoes are from Marc Jacobs. Mike also accidentally left the price tag on the bottom of the shoes:

$325.

OH MY GOD. I have never spent more than $20 on pair of shoes. Never. I think I almost had a heart attack.

Most of the time we can barely pay our bills, have hardly any groceries, and almost never have extra money. Yet I have a $325 pair of shoes. I don't think my feet are worthy to wear $325 shoes!! If I'm being honest, eBay did cross my mind. I bet I could make $200 off these at least! haha. I wouldn't do that, though. I just have to pretend that they only cost him $20. That would mean he got about a 94% discount, so I seriously doubt it.

These shoes better last 17 years. lol.

I'll post a picture of them later... I'm sure you're all insanely jealous. lol.
