When I was a young boy I liked Winter: Sledding down steep, forested slopes in my Flexible Flyer wooden sled whose sharpened steel runners could cut through you faster than a Ginsu Knife, using the huge piles of snow created by snowplows and shoveled-out driveways to carve out a snow cave which could collapse on you at any second, and snowball fights which were all fun until someone put a chunk of ice into a snowball which then struck you in the head.

However, I’m still young enough to create my Christmas List, so as the Christmas Season approaches (that’s right, readers: “Christmas“, not “Holiday”, or “Winter Celebration”, or “Chrismahanukwanzakah“) here’s a list of gifts I’d return, re-gift, or donate to charity if given I’m considering for my closest relatives and friends, because Holidays are a Time for Giving!
As always, Holiday readers, there’s no need to thank me if this helps reduce your shopping stress while you take the more money you now have to buy more stuff this Holiday Season.
