December is my favorite month, hands down. I love the holiday season.
It's not just about the gifts, although you probably think more about them than anything else when it comes to the holidays. No, I'm not that cynical "Christmas is just a commercial holiday created by big corporations and greeting card companies to prey on American consumerism." But in my opinion, you think more about the gift buying aspect of the holidays because you don't HAVE to think about all the other great things about the holiday season. They just come effortlessly. Like the decorations (beautiful and always kind of personal). Or the short cold days that make you feel warmer and cozier inside. The holiday sweets made with love or shared with love with friends and family. And of course, the generosity. Showing your friends and family that you love them and appreciate them, but conveniently not having to say all that mushy feeling stuff. Yuck.
So, with that said, to take away the doubt in your mind and second guessing "is this the right size? Will he like this toy? Will jenny rue the day nathan opened this gift?" I've made a gift buying guide for Nathan, because I care. You're welcome friends and family! And of course, thank you for including our son in your holiday generosity. Love you all.
