Well only five more gifts to mail this year - such was the death count across my friends and family 0ver this year! So few from my past are now left ...
And for the first time ever - that which needs mailed, has been! Often I am lucky to mail by Christmas Day! Next year, gift cards all the way! So much easier and one size fits all. All I have to do is guess correctly on the store!
And, for as bad as I am at gift giving, those whom survive are very good at it. I already have three presents under the tree! People have been very good to me this year. No, I really do not understand why ... but I am not going to complain that there are a few whom care, whom remember.
First daughter always remembers to call or text from where ever she is on Christmas Day, oldest daughter never has any money but her gifts are ones of love (priceless), youngest daughter does give gifts but son only will spend money on himself or what ever piece of fluff he is chasing at the time! Yeah, these young women are short on self esteem - that is what passes for "love" in their culture ..... And gifts are just another way of saying you want something in exchange ...
Sad if you think about it. He certainly was not raised this way by me. Sigh ...
