I have no doubt I’ve ask for help along these lines before,
but I’m doing it again. Maybe we can all help one another. Christmas is looking
us right in the eye. I enjoy Christmas very much. I like decorations (not quite
yet, but soon), I like buying for my loved ones, getting together, hearing
carols – I like it all. My problem is that my brain is completely worn out
trying to think of things to give my loved ones.
I can’t be alone in this. Do you all have problems too? I
have a wonderful husband and a grown son and daughter. Mollie will be easy for
several reasons. One she’ll share a list with me as long as my arm and even
without suggestions she has a new house. But the guys live in the big city in a
tiny apartment and everything will have to fit in their suitcases or I have to
mail it to them.
I’m not expecting you to come up with my Christmas shopping
list – but could you think back over the past five year or so and tell me the
best gift you got for your husband and if you have them, your grown kids. I’m
just trying to get a sea of ideas started. You can leave a comment or if you
have a blog tell me there.
Mine are:
Nick – Kindle, camera
LJ and Collin – toboggans with wireless speaker built in,
Apple TV
Mollie – Apple TV, stuff
(toilet paper, paper towels, dish washing and clothes washing pods, over the
counter medicines, tissue, shampoo, kitty litter) as she says these aren’t
exciting, but they cost a lot. She’s buying the house and has no roommate, so I
guess so.
Now on a slightly different note, I know you aren’t supposed
to buy things for yourself right before Christmas but I needed a new
I found a great one! Best back scratcher ever! But do you
think I should keep this one hidden too?
Don’t forget to give me your best gift ideas and remember to
come by for some questions and answers from Tom and Cal tomorrow at the Reading Room.
And one more thing, there will be a brand new Fantasy Friday this week - and my new friend's arm is only slightly bruised from my twisting it.
