Gifts

Gifts give lifts
To those who get ‘em,
Knowing you
Did not forget ‘em,

But to those
Who do the buying,
Finding gifts
Is oh, so trying!

Spot on, Ilene. I used to spend hours wandering up and down the high street looking for something, anything, to suit so and so. To my blessed relief (with just a few exceptions) I no longer give or receive. And that’s just the way I like it. Terry

Oh Irene...I know exactly what you mean. You say the truth so eloquently. Loved this musing of yours. Thanks for visiting my page.

Indeed, it is, Ilene. I'd rather do anything but.....and, not being a "shopper" makes it much more difficult for me.

- Hard to buy presents for people who have everything they need... my Christmas will be without presents this year... and that's perfectly fine, Ilene :) - hugs
