What: While we wait for the holidays to finish themselves off (and for the reruns and cheesy movies to end), we can at least enjoy watching already-aired episodes of Parks and Recreation over and over and over again. This is a show that rewards multiple viewings, so take advantage of all of the sales going on all over the place to give someone seasons 1 (good), 2 (better), and/or 3 (best) on DVD.
Who to give it to: Someone who has this sense of humor, but just hasn't gotten around to watching the show yet. (Committed fans likely already own at least one season, and non-fans will probably be turned off if you gift this with the sort of zeal more often associated with fans of Community.)
Gifting tip: Pair a DVD set with a copy of Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America, written by Leslie Knope. And throw in a Knope 2012 button or shirt for good measure. Also, these iPhone cases are pretty cool.
Also: I considered including Parks and Recreation on my list of Things That Are Good for Wallowing (part 1, part 2). I've found, however, that the show always, always improves my mood, and one of the foundations of wallowing is that you do not want to be put in a better mood.
