That’s right. What? You’re not done?<\/p>\n
I love trying to find good gifts for people. Sometimes it’s things I know they want or need, but often it’s things I think they should have…things they don’t even know they need until I give it to them. My list this year has a little bit of each type of gift on it, and I’m well on my way to checking everything off.<\/p>\n
I’d much rather give gifts than get them. My mom’s gift-giving philosophy is to buy a gift for someone when you find something nice for them, whether it’s December or July; you don’t need a special occasion. I think that’s a good approach, but when you have an “official” opening opportunity like Christmas, it’s nice to hold back a couple special things for the big day. And as I have two family members who celebrate birthdays on 12\/24 and 12\/25, the ante is upped a notch (do antes have notches?\u00c2\u00a0 Whatever.).<\/p>\n
If only we could get some snow on the ground this year, even just for Christmas day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
