Christmas Journal Prompt#7

I only give Christmas gifts to my dog, Hamish and my Granddaughter Jemma.

Everyone else gets gift cards.

I used to buy presents until I found out most of the gifts I gave sucked so bad and so hard that they were never even re gifted.

That included the ones I made, or baked or spent hours shopping for.

I always- without exception- got the gift thing wrong

EVERY

SINGLE

TIME.

So now when people start doing the ‘ ho ho ho and what do you want for Christmas thing, I say  ‘to be taller and blond’.

I actually mean that.

I am happy to report that most of the people who told me my gifts were meaningless and stupid are no longer in my life, which I suppose is a gift in itself.

One that I can honestly say I cherish.
