I’m one of those last minute shoppers who ventures out on Christmas Eve wandering stores in search of the perfect gift for Karen. Sometimes I know what I’m looking for, but most of the time I’m praying that something’s going to jump out and say, “Here I am”. And honestly, that’s how I got into this insane habit. I had a great streak going. Seeing something nice on a mannequin and saying, “I like that. Karen’s going to like that”. So I get it and let’s get out of here. I’d have it wrapped and I’d head home, place it under the tree and wait patiently for Christmas morning. On Christmas day, Karen would open it and she loved it. You know, there’s got to be a better way to choose a gift. So, we play with that all time greatest Christmas gifts for a True Love List…The 12 Days of Christmas…for some inspiration.
