Presents

>> Tuesday, December 4, 2007

It is so strange not to have to post everyday. I feel like I have gone through detox!

I do not look forward to all the materialism that comes with Christmas. It is one thing when you are young and dependent on your parents for everything, but it is another when you are an adult and can go out and get what you want yourself. It was different when I wanted something and couldn't afford it and then had to wait for it till Christmas rolled around. And now, having to have a list for two moms is just really too much. Plus, I don't want anymore stuff. I HATE stuff!

I am, though, glad that I have my camera now and can get some gifts that will help me build my photography skills. At least they will be useful gifts and won't just sit on a shelf or stay tucked up in a closet somewhere.

Really, I just like to spend time with people and eat good food. The presents are just sticky fluff that get in the way and causes too much stress.

I know what you mean! I have my little "wish lists" here and there of things that I'd like to have...but I never seem to give them to parents or family. If I want something, I'll save up for it.

On the other hand, I LOVE giving presents...but lately have just felt like it's all too much. I've cut back a lot this year, hand-making some presents, or just getting someone ONE little thing, that I KNOW they'll like...instead of feeling like I have to buy tons of presents that are only so-so.

(Wow...long comment. Haha :)

I understand the spirit of the thing, but it is just all too much.

I don't mind giving presents, but it is like this overwhelming responsibility... argh! Whine, whine, whine. :)
