What I want...
A friend of mine called me today to ask what I want for Xmas (and birthday, since it's so close)...well, I didn't know what to tell her...first, because I don't like telling other people what I want them to give...it eliminates the surprise factor which is what I like more about presents...and then, she got me wondering...she knows me since we were teenagers and she doesn't know what I like? If I was a guy I would understand the question...because it's too difficult to buy a guy a present...you end up going for the book or the cd or the pen or that kind of thing..not very personal stuff, very unlike my ideal gifts...
I ended up telling her something I like, to make it easier for her , because she was starting to stress...so, now I know one of the presents I'm getting underneath the Xmas tree... :-( no need for me to go and peep and rattle the package to try to guess what's in it...and I'm making real progress in that...last year I only opened most of my presents on the midnight of the 24th December like everyone is supposed to...but it's a torture...I hate the waiting even though I love it... :-( it's like that song " I hate you Then I love you, Then I love you, Then I hate you, Then I love you more" )
And who in the world starts buying Xmas presents in the middle of November? Well, I am so busy every day of the year, I always leave all that for the last minute and most of the time I don't have the time to buy a present for my friends before Xmas so it's better if I shut up right now...But this year, will be different..I'll do all my Xmas shopping in the States so it will be extra fun...
So, if you don't mind spoiling the surprise, let me know what you want for Xmas then...
