It's the time of year I love but also dread: Christmas shopping. I love shopping and I do have most people, like my family, under control. It's the other people I dread.
The "other people" are Emily's teacher for preschool and dance and my Secret Santa. What do you get the Secret Santa who doesn't really say much on the paper they filled out? A gift card just says I couldn't figure it out.
The teacher part is really hard to figure out. Emily's dance teacher will probably end up with lotion because I don't know her all that well. I know she dances and drinks Coke after classes, but other than that I have no idea!
Emily's preschool teacher is even more difficult! Not only is she Em's teacher, she is also a very good friend of mine. I know some of her likes and dislikes but I also know she is particular. Shopping for a teacher is hard, because even though I am a teacher I know the kinds of typical teacher gifts that "rock" and the kind that just plain old "suck".
I will probably wander around the mall today looking for the perfect gifts. I just hope I don't jump out the nearest high window during my search! HAHA! :)
Hope your shopping went well!
