I have a devious plan for this Christmas season and while I would love to explain, in detail, it’s inception and history, how it’s been going so far, and how I intend to continue with it in the future. But I think first I need to say what it is and then see how much time I want to spend on the explanation.

I intend to mooch on other peoples generous Christmas spirits to get as many free meals as I can this holiday season.

I just don’t have food in my house nor the desire to go do any kind of shopping so close to Christmas, or maybe what I am trying to say is that I’m cheap and loathe grocery shopping so that’s the next best idea I have.

At any rate, I hope that this doesn’t discourage any one from inviting me over, I’ll be your friend regardless, I just think that friendships in general benefit from a good time of fellowship over a meal I didn’t prepare.

So far this plan has been more or less a success in two out of the last three weeks I have eaten nothing but the free food provided by my work and people who’ve had pity on my dire situation. For example:

1. The first week in December I was out working in Seville at the conference and during that I got three all you can eat buffet meals a day.
2. The second full week in December I was working here in Malaga on a video shoot and I ate a really good free lunch everyday along with a lot of really good snacks throughout the day.
3. Last night I showed up at my spanish teachers house to say happy birthday and got some free food.
4. Today I am again invited over to my spanish teachers house for lunch and then for the evening we’re doing an MMC event at which there will be food.
5. Christmas Day is already planned and I will be spending that with my spanish teacher and her family.

So while, this doesn’t cover every meal between now and the new year but I don’t think that I shall actually be needing to go do shopping between now and then except to pick up some sandwich bread and meat.
