The List

The best part of Christmas is that when you get presents from your friends and family it doesn't matter if you are naughty or nice. They will still give you presents. I will still give you presents even if you were bad. Only Santa can judge. With all of this said, I have started my list of people to give presents and what I should give them. I have already figured out what to get some people, but there are several stragglers. My father is one of these stubborn "hard to shop for s.o.b.'s" (I mean that in the most complimentary way possible). If you recall, I have already discussed this problem (see posts from Nov. and Dec. of 2005) and my father is never satisfied. I have no idea what I am going to wrap up and put under the tree. It doesn't really matter what I get him. He will hate it and forget what it was within 36 minutes. A loving, generous father he is. Gracious gift receiver he is not. What are you getting your dad?

You know how I was moaning about Christmas in one of your previous posts? Well, I don't completely dislike it. I love to shop and this just provides another excuse.

You may be asking, "what does this have to do with me?" Well, it means that I have the best presents for you this year (I have been adding to the collection since May)... so get ready :)

Oh, and why don't you get your dad gift cards... or sugar-free candy... or frame a picture of your parents from way back when... ooo, or frame a picture of the two of you (like from FL or something)- how can you go wrong with a sweet father daughter picture ?

Great idea, Peyton! I think that is what I'm going to do. Affordable present and thoughtful!

Thanks, well, I try. Besides, that's what friends are for.

Okay, for people hard to buy for and something that keeps giving all year round -- a magazine subscription.

That is such a good idea, Lora Leigh :)
