Letters for Burning

Why is Christmas shopping so annoying this year? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t always like that.

I remember when I was little and everything was so easy. I was creative with my gifts (and gift wrapping), and it didn’t even matter how my Nana always said she didn’t want anything and that my parents don’t have any hobbies. At my elementary school, the library would turn into a little Christmas shop(pe) and I would be pretty much set. If not, I could just improvise and it was cute.

Now, I have nothing to go on and I’m always worried if people like anything at all. I ask for wishlists constantly. I worry if I know the people in my life a little bit less. I try to think harder and it just gets worse. I wonder if I’ve lost my childhood wonderment and imagination completely or if growing older just means you have to try harder and your friends are suddenly just as bad as your parents…

Whatever, I’m watching the Muppets’ Christmas Carol on Youtube.
