I have finished my Christmas shopping. It was simple this year. So simple because I’m not buying anything for anyone. This is not because I don’t care. Well I don’t care. I’m just not buying anything. Simple as that.
I love my family and I love all they have and will do for me, but this is not the time for me to buy anyone anything. I have money…not much, but I have enough to buy the cute things I know they might want.
Now our family has said that we are not getting each other gifts. So I have a good reason for not buying the adults stuff. Yet the kids: I don’t have a good reason for that. I could come up with a few…..
- I don’t know what to get them.
- I don’t want to think about what to get them.
- They have enough stuff.
- The cool things are too much money.
- I don’t want to.
- I never seen them so the gift of me is enough.
- Christmas is a sham.
- Tom Cruise wouldn’t buy them presents.
- I’m not in the holiday spirit.
- I’m not making the time.
- I like not going to the mall (or toy stores)
- I didn’t win in Vegas.
- When is Christmas anyway?
- See simple. None of these are real good reasons, but I never needed a good reason to do anything before. Now that we are only a few days away from the day, it is now too late for me to do anything any way.
