I love Christmas.
No really, I do.
I know everyone who has read my Facebook status or come in contact with me the last few days might think otherwise. What I don't like is putting Christmas lights on the tree and the insane "YOU MUST BUY" attitude that is perpetuated starting in September.
I love Christmas.
The whole shebang.
The cookies and Christmas Mass.
The tree and the shows.
The songs and the planning.
The food and the fellowship.
I love trying to find just the right gift for everyone I love.
I think about it all year and listen to what they talk about and are interested in. Sometimes I want to buy things that I cannot afford, of course. But I truly feel it is not about buying something, it is about finding the right way to say " I love you, I was thinking about you, and I want you to remember that when you see this gift."
I fall short a fair amount. I have bought gifts for my husband, specifically, that I missed the boat on. He is a true challenge. A two-parter. He doesn't ever really want a gift AND if he wants something, he buys it for himself most of the time.
Impatient.
I on the other hand, will wait YEARS for something.
I long for it so long that if/when I actually receive it, it's almost a religious experience. I am fairly easy to buy for as I rarely deviate from what I like
Here is a list of gifts that would be highly appropriate this year.
Either I have received them, have given them, will give them or just really like them.
My husband got me hooked on them. They are a local (for me) company and literally the best socks you can buy. I wore them when I ran Ragnar and no stinky feet!
Smith's Rosebud Salve
100 years of keeping people chap free.
This time of year, skin and lips get so dry.
Stick one in a stocking and hook 'em forever!
Art
I love getting and giving something artistic. Here is my newest favorite shop. Not only do they sell local artists works, they also create artistic and unique weddings and events. Love!
I went to Texas and tried these on.
They are my favorite shoes and I have worn them everywhere including New York City.
