Every year my father- in-law gives us a Christmas list! First of all, he is the only adult I know who writes a Christmas list and gives it to his kids. If you deviate from that list, he is gets very disappointed. We have never conformed to his list, mainly because the stuff he is asking for is way beyond out budget.
This year he is asking for a pair of golf shoes, amongst other things. Now I thought that those were a reasonable request, well, I was wrong.
Why is it that at 55 years old you can't be happy with what you get? Why they dragged out attitude and the list like a child? I just don't get it. I can't STAND my mother-in-law, but at least she is not childish like that!
Well look at the bright side - Christmas is only once a year, So just be patient and get him what you can effort. (Its the thought that counts)
ReplyDeleteI know...Thanks Goodness! We all know it is the thought that counts, but I don't think he does.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Funny, I always thought Christmas was about Christ, not about gifts. Silly me!
