That Perfect Gift



I'm looking for those perfect gifts. Those items that people sort of had an idea they wanted, but would never have thought of it themselves. It's hard, you must search high and low and in places you never thought of. It's a challenge I enjoy taking on -- the satisfaction of seeing the smile or look of unexpected delight on people's faces is great.
Another gift is D's perspective on the holidays. I always anticipated that having a child would somewhat affect his holiday spirit. This year it has -- he actually proposed putting lights on our house. This is the same man, who groaned when he saw our neighbors hanging lights up the weekend we moved into our house last year. That perhaps is the most perfect gift.
