Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Presents Come in Different Sizes

War Chest Wednesday! From a previous challenger...March 29/2017

Some people start making or buying Christmas presents in January and by October they're all wrapped and ready to go. Others hit the shops on Christmas Eve, frantically buying presents for everyone. Which are you? Tell us about the best Christmas present you ever gave anyone.

I like to buy presents all year long. I like to mix them in with buying birthday gifts. At the end of the year, I’m ready for any thing. Money and circumstances do not always allow me to accomplish my goals. Some years I am rushing right up to Christmas.

If I get the family cared for early it gives us more cash at Christmas to give ourselves some extra gifts. Plus, buying one gift at a time through out the year I spend more per person. I enjoy giving more thoughtful gifts. Sometimes it takes me awhile to decide what to buy.

Last year I gave K a desktop computer. He has wanted one for a couple years. One year the children all needed winter coats. I don’t like to give those kinds of gifts at Christmas but I bought each a feather down heavy coat. It was a really cold year. WE had been very poor all year so the coats were a blessing. I know they enjoyed them.

Over the years I have been able to give someone something I thought they needed. Each year can be different.
