What's more pathetic?
Discovering a dust-covered, still-in-the-box revolving tie rack in the corner of our bedroom

OR....

the fact that it's LAST year's Xmas gift from the kids to MrShine and it's obviously never been used??

Sigh...

Re-gift, anyone??

Ahhhh, the holidays are upon us.

Yikes.

:eyes:

Gird yourselves.

1. I don't see why people need to give me stuff if I don't need anything.
It's an expense for them and more clutter for me.

2. This time of year is fraught with an underlying sense of obligation.
particularly when it comes to Family.

At least for me it is.

It can be complicated.

Of course, I'M the one that makes it so by how I think about it.
