Not that I HATE Christmas mind you.. I LOVE it.. really.. but I make myself crazy trying to shop for folks. Luckily my Mom lets me know what she wants so she is taken care of by my brothers and myself. Shopping for my kids is a totally different story... I have NO idea what to get for them. When they were little... it was so easy... RJ wanted the sci-fi stuff... anything neat and cool.. and thanks to my friend Misty he was also interested in all the gross stuff... Chad?? He was the easiest of all. As a small child (meaning up til a few years ago) give the kid a few stuffed animals and he was a happy camper. As long as he had his animals and his art supplies all was right in his world. Last year "Santa" brought him a box of nothing but art stuff, construction paper, glue, scissors, and tape. He was in heaven. He made only one request... NO CLOTHES... He said he was tired of "Santa" bringing clothes... but "Santa" always brings clothes.. New dilemma.
Now for this year... I got nothing.. ziltch... nada... Oh..there is the big family present... AND the required clothes from "Santa"... but other than that..?? I'm tapped out.. my tree will have like 5 boxes under it... I'm looking at taking the packages of underwear and wrapping them separately just so it looks like there is STUFF under the tree.. 5 boxes just doesn't cut it.. my Mom will have a fit..
HELP???
