The Annual Day of Gift-Giving

Yesterday was awesome.

Okay, when they say it is better to give than to recieve, they're right. Listen to them. Whoever 'they' are, they've stumbled upon a valuable secret.
Not to flip my own hair, but I like to think I'm pretty awesome at gift-giving. I'm not satisfied with just opting out for jewelry or a gift-card if I can't think of anything. Or if I do give jewelry or a gift card, it's for a reason. But just walking through the store, with the essence of a specific person in mind, then having a brilliant vision come upon me, sparked by a nearby item, brings me such joy.

So yesterday was the last day before winter break. And that means a whole day of constant surprising and joy-giving.

Such. Fun!

My favorite reactions were probably Coree's and Alicia's. Not only were they surprised, they were overjoyed. Apparently I picked the right things for them. Oh, and Sarah. She was so excited that she insisted in starting Far East Drama practice with reading aloud her new children's book. :)

So after all that, I got to gift-wrap people's presents for them for 4 hours. It wasn't boring. It was so much fun to make things look nice in cheap, shiny paper and ribbons and I felt such a sense of joy and Christmas spirit.

So, all this is to convey to the world my absolute exuberance of the fact that Christmas is only
 8 days away!!!!!
