December 17: Chipmunk gift
A seemingly generous present that will benefit the giver as much as the receiver.
On an old Chipmunks Christmas album, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore give Dave a gift. He’s overwhelmed with their generosity until he discovers it’s an empty bag, which the Chipmunks say is for him to fill with presents and give back to them.
My friend gave me such a Chipmunk gift this year. She bought me a CD by HER favorite group and then asked to copy it because she’s too cheap to buy her own CD AND a present for me.
That back bedroom at my mom’s house is freezing! I hate staying there when we visit. Is it too much of a Chipmunk gift if I buy her a space heater for Christmas?
My husband took me to the Monster Truck Expo for my birthday. Jeez, what a Chipmunk gift. What was he thinking?

Heh, I’ve been given plenty of those in my day. Now I have a name for them.
