Gift Cards, Hallmark Of The “It’ Just Easier”

The holidays are here, scratch that, Christmas Time is here and the shopping season Image By DryIcons.comhas started. Traffic becomes a nightmare on weekends just to get the home basics as people spend tons of money many shouldn’t really be spending. But not everyone is out there creating the nightmares and spending time walking thru several isles at the stores looking for the perfect gift for those special someones. There are those who simply walk in, grab one or more of those pretty looking, fancy cards with major credit card or major dept store names and logos on them called Gift Cards. A gift you Image By The Chef Alliancedon’t even have to go to the stores they are for to get them; the local supermarket has them. So you can actually pick up a few from many stores, locally or online at the same time you’re getting that lbs or two of ground beef for those tacos you gonna make for dinner or maybe that box of garbage bags you ran out of or even those disposable feminine products you need. Would the phrase “It’s the thought that counts” be a legit thought when receiving one of these Gift Cards?

My Real Christmas Wish List, We All Have One.

Disney Family Fun Christmas List PrintableTry as I might I can’t help but have a real Christmas list if anywhere deep in my mind, where no one can find out. But why do I hide it so much you might ask? Interesting question; to be honest it’s kinda embarrassing to talk about but sometimes it has to be done, it’s the best way to resolve issues one has.

I guess when it comes to wish list although I wish for everything in the world like everyone else, I tend to think too much about those who can only wish and dream of everything in the world but odds are they may never get them. Makes me feel selfish every time I think about wanting an iPad, a HDTV or even a 2011 Chevy Camaro. I also tend to think about other people first such as my children, my wife and the rest of my family. Perhaps once a year I go out of my way to treat myself to something but this only happens when I get my tax refund although none the less my family still goes first.

But, as I mentioned before, I have a Christmas list just like everyone else and I have decided to share my list because I believe I deserve at least one of these gifts even if I never get it but perhaps a miracle might happen because after all it’s the Christmas season and miracles have been known to happen during this time of the year. So on with my list.

What If Santa Got You What You Really, Really Wanted?

Every year, for the past 20 years of my life I have never known what I was gonna get for Christmas. But I did know it was not what I would have truly wanted to get. It’s just the way life has been for me. We all wish “Santa” brought us those things we can’t afford thru out the year and most of us are smart enough to know it’s just not gonna happen. Others make the effort to get it themselves but in the end it wasn’t “Santa” who brought it.
