This is probably my least fave part of Christmas the buying presents.
I never know what to buy people. The presents I normally buy end up forgotten about or thrown away later on the next year, I think people think I forgot I bought it but I don't I always remember. The only person who keeps what I buy is my father. I normally get him records and he seems to really appreciate it.
Everyone else gets rid so I guess I don't buy what they like.
This year at school we've got secret Santa again! Well early as usual but I appreciate the earlyness as I don't have any idea what I'll be getting for Talis (girl in my class) I know nothing about her and what she likes. We sit together in some classes but I still don't know about her.
I hate present buying. The whole idea makes me anxious and I've not got any of my family a single present yet either.
The closer I get to Christmas the more I start to worry about it. I am lucky that my family asks what everyone wants, but recently that adds to the worry of having to think what to ask for.
My wife is a different story. Her birthday is next week which is too close to Christmas for my liking as I use up all my good present ideas and have to repeat the process a few weeks later.
I know what you mean, my mother's birthday is 28th December.
