I'm pretty lucky with my holiday shopping list. I have very few people to shop for.
This is good because I'm not a particularly gifted shopper. If I had to get a gift for somebody named Sally, and there was a store called, "Things Sally Wants," I would pick out the one item there that Sally doesn't want.
This year I thought I had a good idea, and I went after it. The order arrived today, and they let me know on my cell. We arranged the delivery time for when I would be home a couple of hours later. It all seemed perfect.
It arrived before I was there, and it all turned into a huge problem. Lovely.
Now the gift is tainted, and the recipient is angry with me. I understand as it was my responsibility.
A lovely backfire.
Usually I stick to buying exactly what I'm told, at exactly the correct store, in exactly the right colour. I guess this is wise.
I am a 68 year old retired teacher living on the west coast of Canada. I spent over 30 years as a student of Karate until my knees stopped liking it. My current passionate activity is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, which I've been at for about 13 years.
