X-Mas List Time
So the last few years when I have asked one of my parent's advice on what to get them for Christmas, they always reply with, "You need to get us a list." Well this proves every year to be difficult. I don't really know why. I guess at Christmas I want to think of things that I would not buy myself but would like. It is really hard. Usually I just end up telling them to surprise me, and give them a list of little stuff like some CDs or last year I requested pocket size Kleenex. This year I am again at a loss. I really have everything I need. A roof over my head, a job, a car that works, all my snowshoeing stuff. I don't really know what I am going to tell them this year. I guess I need to do some soul searching. It is always really hard because I don't want to seem snobbish in what I want or in any way gimmie, gimmie. I don't know. I really love giving gifts, but when it comes to figuring out what I want, that always proves to be a little more difficult.

I keep an ongoing list throughout the year of things I would like, but can't usually justify buying for myself. Then, if an opportunity comes up (Christmas, Birthday, promotion or bonus) I have a few things to choose from. On my list right now is an iTrip for my car, "America: The Story of Us" series, and my own luggage set to name a few. Maybe this will help spark some ideas...
