December 7th, 2007 - Leaves in boxes
You know something you bought from a company has been packed by hand when you find a LEAF in the box. No industrial, high-tech facilities at Paulmba (link takes you to Maggie’s Solstice gift).
Why a Solstice gift? Because I want to stretch out her plethora of presents this year. As I wrote a few days ago, I’m feeling kind of bad that after deciding as usual to not buy her anything, I ended up with three gifts!
Oh, and an update to that post, Meghan shared a list of four gifts she’d seen:
- Something you want
- something you need
- something to play with
- something to read
I should start a Holidays category.

I know that rhyme as, “Something to wear, something to read, something to play with, something you need, and something you’ve wished for for a long time indeed!” That has always been our Christmas present rule for the kids. A little harder to accomplish, now that they are 16 to 25, but a good rule, I think. It includes the stockings, too, since we try to stick with three as the presents limit.
