TO GIFT IT OR TO KEEP IT, THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS QUESTION

It’s a story as old as time. I set myself up for a taxing day of Christmas shopping, list close by, prepared to purchase something for everybody. And afterward I return home and some way or another just end up with two presents wrapped under the tree since, well, I’ve chosen to keep everything else for myself. Cheerful Christmas to me? I know I’m not the only one, and honestly I know it’s the universally adored Christmas diversion.

So as opposed to thinking of the conventional blessing list, I’m blending it up this year. I assume if I get the chance to look for presents that I’d need to open, all things considered, enough will make it under the tree by Christmas morning (while as yet filling my wardrobe with the mandatory occasion stash). Sound rationale, to the extent I’m concerned. Goodness, and it’s everything under $150 with the goal that getting one to blessing and one to keep doesn’t sound so insane all things considered.
