Well, Christmas is coming very fast. It seems to sneak up on me every year. My wife is still asking me for a list of things I might want. We have lists from the boys and ideas for family and friends. The idea is to get something the recipient can use, or needs, or would like but would never buy for themselves.
Some folks like to go extravagant.
We like to make the gift memorable without going overboard. In one of the songs of the season, a child is telling Santa Claus what all his friends have on their lists. In this country very few of us have real needs. The ones that do, with the exception of some medical needs, are probably better off than most in many parts of the world. It's not that there are not hungry, hurting people in America.
