Ho Ho....Hum
I've just returned from a trip to San Francisco to go Christmas Shopping. I just wasn't feeling it.
I have time, right....to catch the holiday spirit?
What do I give my daughter for her last Christmas as a child? Next year..she will be off to college, 18...and away....
What do I give my other daughter for her journey through High School? I have looked and looked for a magic mirror..to show her the true beauty she contains. It eludes me. All I find are cheap knock offs.
What do I give my husband, that I haven't already given? I wish I could give him my restlessness, my un ease. But again, I only seem to find disguises..and false smiles painted with great sparkly lip gloss..
What would I give to myself....That I would not be afraid to unwrap?

Wow, that's quite the honest post there. Sigh.
Hope the spirit catches you, and you have lots of merry.
Why not some Aston Martins? ...a gift that would keep on giving every time they put the key into the ignition.
I just KNEW you had been somewhere fun!
I know the feeling of being hungry to give what can't be given...
