Lists / Less
There were times when my Christmas gift lists were epic. Two pagers. Things that required pre-planing, brainstorming and, occasionally, Christmas Eve panic shopping. Two days of December have almost slipped behind me, already. So I figured I’d start my Christmas shopping today, after work. It’s grayly shocking how short my list has become. Forget two hands: I don’t even need one full hand to count the people I’m buying for, now. In the past, I have had long wish lists, too. Now, however, most of what I wish for I cannot have. It’s a gift to have special people in your life to get Christmas presents for. I knew that in a superficial way before. I’m re-learning it in a deeper way, now.
