I don’t think I can do any better than the children of mine who were born around Christmas. Three of the four came within one month of Christmas day. One came on December 23rd. What wonderful presents! Going farther back, I recall sitting by the Christmas tree at my childhood home, or the homes of my grandparents. I found toy soldiers, toy horses, Matchbox cars, pocket knives and many other little-boy wonders. I remember the beautiful wooden stock and golden trigger of my first shotgun, and how it pulled me irresistably into a sense of impending manhood to know that my father and mother trusted me enough to give such a gift. I have been thrilled to ...

I have a huge immediate family, and everyone has their own ideas about how we should handle Christmas gift-giving. These differences cause major arguments, underlying resentments, and even serious rifts. Some family members think that everyone should buy a gift for everyone else (despite the fact that there are dozens of us, and as many different budgets). Others think they should only have to buy Christmas presents for those family members to whom they’re really close. Still others are adamant that each gift be incredibly special and personalized, even if you only see the recipient once a year. (No iPods or coffee grinders allowed.) And, get this: Some of my adult family member...

Klean Kanteen Water Bottles. Staying hydrated is important for the breastfeeding mother but remembering to drink enough water can be difficult for the busy new mom. It helps to keep water beside the nursing chair and by the bed. Make it easier for the new mother with one or more of these Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Colored Water Bottles. I like Klean Kanteen because the bottles are made from food grade stainless steel that is non-leaching, toxin-free and BPA-free. It’s an environmentally-friendly choice both because it eliminates the waste of plastic water bo...

Baby Doll Stuffed Animal Clothing with Back Closures Non-skid slippers Food they like and is good for them A non-breakable snow glow ball A tea party in the activity room A lap quilt or afghan A pretty pillow Family pictures in non-breakable frames A small scrapbook or photo album of familiar scenes A CD of familiar music A DVD of a movie they enjoy  What suggestions do you have for Alzheimer’s gifts?

This cycle is costing us quite a bit more than the last 800 we’ve done.  Why?  Well times are tough for everyone, yo.  Somebody has to pay for Doctor Miracle’s kids to go to summer camp next year.  And the year after.  And…wait let’s face it, I’m payin for those kids to go to college.  I damn well better get a thank you card.
