It is better to give than to receive, which is why people who give themselves a gift must regift it to themselves in order to overcome the despair of receiving it. Break out of a perpetual loop with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get two tickets to the Holiday Olé shopping event on Sunday, November 20 hosted by the Junior League of Albuquerque. The event will be held at Hotel Albuquerque from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Holiday Olé's lineup of 60 of Albuquerque's top vendors conquers lengthy gift lists while raising funds to combat hunger in the Albuquerque area. Shoppers can peruse intelligence-bolstering gifts by Discovery Toys or engage in a lively discussion with an opinionated smock from The Sassy Apron. Prettifying products by Mary Kay Cosmetics stuff stockings without clogging pores, and the many cocoa-laced treats at the Chocolate Cartel satiate holiday sweet teeth. Otherwise, visitors and their children can simply shout their present demands to Santa Claus himself in the presence of notarized photo paper. Benevolent shoppers can also enter their names or Winston Churchill fan-fiction pennames into raffles before sampling delicious fare from local vendors. Proceeds from the event benefit The Storehouse and Rio Grande Food Project.

The Groupon Guide to: Very Special Episodes
Though critics agree that all television is special, once every few years a popular television program will use its reach to educate an audience on a serious issue. Here's a guide to crafting your own very special episode:
• Choose a serious issue to be discussed. If you're not sure if your issue is serious enough, try bringing it up at Thanksgiving. If your chosen topic is suitable, it will ruin everything.
• Make sure to swap your usual incidental music with much sadder music. This will let the audience know that they should cry instead of laugh and eat one piece of popcorn at a time respectfully, instead of shoveling it in via carefree handfuls.
• If your show features a Screech, he should sit this one out entirely.
• At the end of the episode, actors must reveal their own name directly into the camera. This way, viewers know that the issue being discussed is very real, even though Carl Winslow is just a 19-year-old gymnast in a Carl Winslow suit.
