I hate it when people ask me for a Christmas list. Plus I'm supposed to supply a list of what my kids want as well. I'm not sure why it bugs me. Is it because it encourages my kids to think, "Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee?" Is it because it is one more thing I have to do -- I don't have enough to do that I now have to do everyone's thinking for them? And now I have to MANAGE lists to make sure there aren't any duplicates? Is it because I just don't get the point of giving a gift that someone has requested? Is it because I hate shifting gears and thinking about what I want? It usually makes me sad because I realize I don;t really want anything but respect and appreciation. Am I just a big Scrooge?
My in-laws see it as making it easier on everybody.
