Christmas decorations start the season of secret desires. You know the ones that you remember as a child, the perfect doll or gun that you just could not live without. When we are older we still aspire that our mate will get that special something for us.
It just takes all the fun out of it when we have to tell them what we want, they are just supposed to know. It was a lot simpler when we listened closely for the conversation between our little ones and Santa. There was also the great hints in the letter to Santa that kept us in tune with the wishes of the small set.
I for one hate the commercials that rattle off what the next biggest idea for Christmas is, this drives people crazy trying to find it. God knows it is hard to keep up but the television is a robotic hypnotist to dupe our little ones into asking for things that are no way near our budget.
What happened to the days when you enjoyed making a treasure and the gift receiver loved it just because it came from you. I understand the concept of what do I buy that person that has everything.
Gift cards have there place if you know the places they love to shop and don’t have a clue what they would like to have. It’s a simple solution, this will take care of the giving without having to think about what to get.
Sometimes this is an easy out that will take care of a few people on your list. Add an ornament to the gift card so they can have a present to put on the tree when they return home.
