It's been a long time......I shouldn't have left you........ :) But I'm back!!!!! And so much foolery and nonesense have occured in the last month I don't know where to start. From altercations at a club, running a 5k, to chastising homeless people in Las Vegas it has been a whirlwind month. Plus to top it off, I had my 31st birthday :) But we won't get into all that (to protect the innocent.......namely ME) I want to discuss buying Christmas presents. I want to discuss this because it's EXPENSIVE! There are 21 kids on my list this year.......and none of them are mine. WTF? why the face? I enjoy buying presents for people and always try to purchase something I know they will like, but really.....if I have 21 people to buy for no one is getting a great gift. It's definitely going to be the thought. I think in 2011 I will focus on buying birthday presents instead. That way, each child will get a nice gift at least once a yr. and get some stocking stuffers for Christmas.
Ok, so here's my ultimate thought. As a parent, it is your responsibility to make your child's Christmas great and memorable. I know that family makes it special and being around love and all that is priceless, but YOU are Santa. Don't expect extended family members to purchase Santa gifts for you....that's for the parents and then grandparents and such..........not for cousins and aunts, etc......Just my thoughts.......
