QotD: Under the Tree
What gifts, big or small, are you hoping to find under your tree this year?
Sponsored by Best Buy.
I asked for lights for my bicycle so I can get started on a morning ride before the sun comes up. MomH was a bit perplexed but I assured her they should be easy to find in a sporting goods store or any place that sells bikes.
Now I'm looking forward to seeing what I'll actually get. Things often get lost in translation between here and there.
Other than that, I can't possibly think of anything I want my family to buy for me. To me it's all about being home with everyone.
And cookies. Lots and lots of cookies. And nuts and cheese and popcorn...yum...
Bottom line on gifts: if I can make it out of there without large/heavy/sharp/breakable objects, it's all good. There have been years where I've had to ship gifts back to Arizona by UPS because I couldn't or wouldn't pack them in my luggage.

Guilty! I'm guilty of doing to my kids what your family has done to you with the gifts. Finally, exasperated, I think, they suggested we each pick a name and give only one gift except for the kids. Works better, but I sure used to enjoy shopping for them, I still will see something when shopping and think 'so and so would love that' and bah humbug, I can't buy it cause the person whose name I got wouldn't like it.
BTW check out Flylady.net for lots of fun Christmas gift ideas that don't add more clutter to a persons life.
