How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Presents

Well, Christmastime has come and gone and in its place grows a swift, post-holiday depression that no amount of eggnog or silly red hats can satiate.  But in comes AP English to the rescue to help me analyze all of my friends and relatives ...through the presents they gave me... in list form!
1.Two posters professionally framed and hung in my room - This indirectly characterizes my mom as well-acquainted with my love of rock music and cheesy wall clutter.
2.Underwear and socks - This negates any love my mother has given me ever
3.Candy - This indirectly characterizes Santa as jolly and possibly rotund.  By assuming that I love candy (I do, by the way), Santa drew a parallel between himself and me which, continuing the parallel, implies I am slightly overweight during the holiday season...these assumptions, unfortunately in some cases, prove themselves correct.
4. A Snoopy light-up house - This gift from my Grandparents asserts their earlier claim that they "Love my shows" despite their disapproval of my acting. Snoopy remains my favorite character to date and the hand-crafted effort indirectly characterizes them as hard-working and determined to sway me to a more lucrative career like carpentry or electric engineering.
5.A Box of Chocolate Pretzels and Persepolis - This indirectly characterizes my girlfriend as wicked awesome.  Her picking up my subtle (I'm a guy so it wasn't that subtle, but you get the idea) clues that I love candy and graphic novels indirectly characterize her as a keeper!
6. Money - A gift I received from the majority of my relatives, money indeed makes the world go round. This money metaphorically represents the struggles I will encounter through college and eventually in life outside of school, by preparing me now, my relatives understand that I will emerge from schooling as a force to be reckoned with, a giant among men, a financial colossus dominating Wall Street with my mighty economic prowess... or they're just lazy and know nothing about me.
7. You're Welcome - A gift from me to you. This symbolizes the end of my blog entry.
