Welcome back!
ACK! Did I really say that? I do not love to make a Christmas list for myself, which is what the whole family expects everyone to do each year. Some of our family will not do it. I would applaud them but I need to have that list from them too!!
Why is it that we always need those lists? Because no one ever really knows what someone wants for Christmas. In my case, each year, I would write out list after list (when I was a kid) and gave them all to my parents in the hope that they would pick out the one thing I truly wanted and give it to me without my having to hint, hint, hint about it. That was because when I did that, they found something else, not because they wanted to. Usually, it was because the item was gone by the time they shopped for it.
These days, if you have some really good things on the lists, you can find something for someone eventually. What can you get people in your family? Hmmm, try those game boards I was speaking of in previous posts. For adults, try the movies…always a favorite in our family, raymond weil watches, tshirts, a new puppy? We have puppies to give away. Want one? The kids always want computer games and games that work on the television.
You know, I could go on and on about the things that a person can buy for another person. But the best gift of all is the one that you know they want, you get it for them in love and then you watch their face when they open the gift on Christmas day. I think that is about the best gift in the world for me.
