And my children wouldn’t mind if the Christmas spirit paraded me through a toy store with credit card in hand.
But as most people are this year, we’re trying to reign in the joy, well, not the joy, but the spending.
The old age question arises, which would you rather have as a child? A bunch of small gifts or one big special thing that you really want?
I’m trying to find a happy medium—a special something that’s kind of spectacular and a bunch of cool, inexpensive doo-dads. That’s what I think I would have liked. There’s just something so spectacular about seeing a big old pile of shiny boxes under the tree in the morning.
We all want to know that our needs are going to be met.
And it’s just kind of cool when we discover that (sometimes, not always) our desires will be heard and met, too.
I say, buy a BIG box, and put lts of little boxes in it - covers all bases!
ReplyDeleteAh! The many boxes trick! Always fun!
