It seems every year I'm overwhelmed with the stress of giving gifts and find that one perfect object to match with that one perfect person. I play a wildly materialistic game of match maker and every year I fail miserably. The wiser of my friends and family simply ask me what I want but even then I haven't the faintest clue how to answer. Sure, I can tell them the truth and say I want as many cases of wine as your arms and wallet can hold. Sadly there is one true trait that makes a person family and that's judgement. Anyone can criticize you but only family are obligated to.
This year I was given a gift I chose but secretly only wanted as a "just in case" gift. I'd like so I'll have it but I'm not so sure I'll ever use it. The gift was a Kindle and it's three days later and I adore it. I'm read a biography on Ernest Hemingway and two novels of F. Scott Fitzgerald. In my spare time I find myself browsing through Amazon's books and just can't seem to say 'no' to any of them.
Let this me a lesson to you, be careful what you wish for. You may end up being responsible for a five percent rise in Amazon's stock.
