I hate Christmas. The madness. The mayhem. The money. It drives me INSANE.

But you know the one thing I secretly LOVE about Christmas.

Surprising my kids with stuff they’d never think to ask for. Last year, #2 son got a really nice Texas A & M coat. It was a bit of a splurge, but a) he freaking LOVED it and b) it’ll fit him probably through 10th grade so at least three more years. So it was a really good investment.

As skimpy as this year is probably going to be, I’m thinking about doing the same with #2–investing in a really nice coat.  The funny thing is, last year was all Jordan this and Jordan that…now he wants color. I”m thinking something like this…

Seriously, he would freaking love this–but I’m torn. Skittles, Lucky Charms, Starburst or Juicy Fruit. They also have hoodies!

If you could get that special someone something special…something they’d never think to ask for, who would it be for and waht would it be? It doesn’t have to be expensive…after all, it’s the thought that counts, right?   :evillaugh:
