Don't get me wrong, I sooo love the holidays. However, I am beginning to really dread the whole present buying scenario. I just can't seem to ever feel like I am getting the perfect gift for anyone. My poor husband and I spent a whole day in the big shopping town trying to finish up our shopping list. After hours of looking for the perfect gift, we pretty much resorted to gift certificates for everyone. I know they aren't too personal, but at least you can get what you want and I can get some sleep knowing that I didn't once again buy you a george foreman grill.
Hubby has been after me to make him a shopping list. There really isn't too much I want or need this year. I am so into crafts--scrapbooking, rubber stamping, crafty sewing, etc.--but pretty much have everything I need. I also have a craft room that only holds so much and, unfortunately, there isn't much room in there anymore. I refer to it as my scrap room while Hubby lovingly calls it my "crap" room and I am beginning to agree with him these days. I have so much stuff in there that I rarely venture in for fear I will be tackled by something falling or sticking out....So, I guess I will ask for this and this and maybe some shelving units for Christmas from target. I have to get that room organized or I am selling off all my goods on Ebay....I just can't take it any longer! I don't know what else to ask for aside from a past, present, and future ring and that would be like asking for a date with Adam Sandler---it ain't happening this year (as they say!).
My parents and little brother are coming here for Christmas this year and I couldn't be more excited. Of course there is alot to do before they get here but I am up for the challenge. My little brother is so much fun to have around at Christmas. He absolutely adores Hubby and Hubby adores him as well. I am soo very excited to see those two together....my two favorite men!
As some of you may know, my little brother is brain damaged. He is the most amazing person I have ever met. He is my ray of sunshine that never stops shining. He is the one who is excited for whatever you give him, regardless of price, etc. He is the one who giggles at you when noone else will. He will give you a high five and a "Hey" or "Hi" even if you don't need one. He will sit by you and give you a grin to die for. He is the one that is giving to a fault. He is the one that I worry about every day. I worry that he will somehow, somewhere be taken advantage of. I worry what will happen to him when we are all gone. I worry that he will become sick. I worry about him because I love him more than anything. People always say how lucky he is that he has us.....and I say No Way.....We are the ones so blessed to have him in our lives. He is truly our miracle and without him, our family would be bored and lost. He really does give us all life everyday! Jer Bear, WE LOVE YOU!
Happy Holidays everyone and if you need a foreman grill, let me know. I think I bought extras last year!
