<\/p>\n

I shop for the boys every year.  I put the presents in various places<\/span><\/div>\n
and sadly sometimes I forget about them.  This is what happens when I shop to early!<\/span><\/div>\n
As I am almost done my shop, I lay it all out and make a list of what I have for whom.<\/span><\/div>\n
It is all about equality… or as close to it as possible.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Some of my boys are so easy to shop for.<\/span><\/div>\n
Sammy has a never-ending list.<\/span><\/div>\n
Josh has a never-ending list.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Then there are my four in the middle.<\/span><\/div>\n
They are the hardest to buy for!!!<\/span><\/div>\n
They usually don’t know what they want.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Or it is out of the question kind of a present.<\/span><\/div>\n
Tyler wants a lap top.  Yah right!<\/span><\/div>\n
Max wants a iPod Touch.  Yah right!<\/span><\/div>\n
Zach wants a Trick Bike (not available in his size with out custom ordering).<\/span><\/div>\n
Jordan wants a Canon Rebel.  Yah Right!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Maybe I should tell them My Wish List and see if they can work on that too!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
So as I try to think of things that they don’t know they want, it is hard work!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I asked Zach what he wanted for Christmas and he listed various kinds of shoes (he has a shoe fetish), some clothing from his favorite store.  Clothes!<\/span><\/div>\n
I am just not sure if he really doesn’t want any toys!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Then there is Max.  Again clothes and some video games.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Jordan… I think he is the hardest to buy for!  His interest is in drawing and hockey.<\/span><\/div>\n
He also likes to build things.  So I am on the lookout…<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I am going through the inventory to see who got way too much stuff (no doubt Sammy) and will have to do some returning and evening out.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I do love Christmas!<\/span><\/div>\n
