It's Officially The Christmas Season
Christmas time is here at last. Classes are beginning to wrap up, the library is full and the stores are crowded with people busy making their holiday purchases. As we all know I love the Christmas season, but sometimes the whole finding the perfect gift thing gets the best of me.
Finding the perfect for someone is one of the best parts of the holiday season, but remember the perfect gift doesn’t have to be the most expensive. As cliché as it sounds, a gift from the heart is usually better than the latest and greatest gadget from the apple store.
A lot of times when searching for the perfect gift for someone I think of their personality. An example is when I think of something to get for my Dad my goal is to leave him speechless. One year my mom and I decided to be crazy and instead of getting him a new computer or leather coat we would look beyond the normal and get him something he always wanted. A fish! So we purchased a little fish tank and on Christmas Eve that year we went to Meijer and got him a little beta. When he opened the tank his eyes went big and was silent. Then the normal what did you do comment came and he met Jack. Almost immediately after opening the tank and looking at Jack, the beta, he started reading up on how to prepare the tank. The fish and tank didn’t cost much but his reaction was priceless.
This Holiday season doesn’t always have to break the bank; it just may cause you to rack your brain a bit. Remember gifts are better from the heart and occasionally the apple store.
