All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

I am a shopaholic. There, I said it. Admitting the problem is always the first step to recovery right? I think in the back of my mind I always knew it, but it really hit me over the head when I was reading “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” I totally identified with the main character’s thought process way too much. For those of you out there who like a fun, easy read you should definitely go out and buy it or at least put it on your Christmas list.

As someone who has a shopping problem, Christmas is probably one of my favorite times of the year. No, not just because I get new things, but also because I get to give new things. While it is hard to shop for other people, my family and friends can be some of the pickiest people I know, it is so much fun to watch their faces as they unwrap their presents.

The best presents aren’t even necessarily the most expensive things, they can even be ones you make yourself. The best presents are the ones that show how much you care about someone because they show how well you know them. It’s so exciting to open a Christmas present that is perfect for you that you didn’t even know you wanted.

This year I am at a loss though as to what to get friends and family. Please post suggestions below.

And on a side note, one of my favorite Christmas experiences was in Mrs. Williams’ class in fifth grade shopping for an angel tree child. This past Sunday when I was in church I heard that it was changing this year and they were looking for monetary donations instead of actual presents. I don’t know if it was just the church I went to or what, but I thought it was sad. If you have never done an angel tree child or toys for tots I recommend you do it. It was an amazing experience.
