If you've been listening this Holiday Season, you might have heard that I'm not the most holiday crazed person. Some people have called me a Grinch. It's not that I don't like Christmas, I do. I love spending time with my family and friends, I like the music and movies (in moderation), and the original meaning for Christmas. The reason people think I'm a Scrooge is because I hate the commercialization of the season. I'm not much for decorating, but those who know me know I shouldn't be decorating anything, I'm terrible at it.
The thing I dread the most is Christmas shopping. I like giving presents, I just hate shopping for them. The main reason is it has the word shopping in it. I'd rather go to the dentist than shop. Plus, I never know what to get anyone. I don't want to give people gift cards because that's lazy. I want to give the "perfect gift." This year I found a website that's a HUGE help. Etsy.com It has a free facebook app that goes through all of your friends' likes and finds gift ideas that correlate. When I first looked into, it I thought it was going to come up with dumb, generic ideas and they'd be mostly the same for everyone. However, the site actually does a great job. Some of the things listed I've actually bought for people in the past. Now that Esty.com helped me with the gift ideas I need to get off my butt and get them. Christmas Eve sounds like a good day for that.
