SEASON OF THINKING

They say it’s better to give than receive..
Me? I’m reconsidering.
With Christmas soon approaching…
This doesn’t just mean I have to shop…
It means I have to do more thinking…
And I have enough to think about already.
If I ask my daughters what they want for Christmas…
They always say…
“Oh, it doesn’t matter. Anything is fine.”
Really?
You may want to change that answer…
Because there’s a sale on BBs at Cabela’s…
Or shoe expanders at Overstock.com.
JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!
Kids, on the other hand…
Always know what they want…
Plus they have Santa to tell their choices to…
And all moms and dads have to do is take notes.
Easy peasy.
Grownups, on the other hand…
Always make my brain scramble…
Because I have to come up with something…
I didn’t give them last year…
Something I can afford….
And something they will really appreciate.
I think there should be a Cyber Santa…
Where adults can go and sit on Cyber Santa’s lap…
And there they can tell him what they want…
Then all we gift givers have to do is…
Check their list.
Think of it like a Santa Registry.
Then all we'd have to do is choose, buy, wrap, and give.
Easy peasy.
So…
Other than sitting there watching with anticipation…
While the gift you’ve given is being opened…
And watching the recipient break out in a big smile…
What about gift giving…
Do you think is better than receiving?


Always, Em-Musing.
