Saying that several of them had learned the hard way, members of the Gordon family confirmed to reporters Friday that they knew damn well not to believe Moms little bullshit speech about not giving gifts this Christmas. She doesnt mean a goddamn word of it, said Alex Gordon, 32, one of Ellen Gordons three adult children, all of whom agreed that youd have to be pretty fucking thick if you didnt see right through her little song and dance about just enjoying each others company without the expense and obligation of giving presents. She says this every year, but forget thatof course she wants to do gifts. Can you imagine the look on her face if there actually wasnt anything under the tree and we just sat around empty-handed like a bunch of assholes? No way is that happening. Gordon added that he and his siblings were taking their moms suggestion that they could leave on Christmas Day if the ticket was cheaper for the utter horseshit that it is.
