Why do I do this?

This is the question I tend to ask myself several times during the week before Christmas. This week it came up...

• while waiting in line at the mall for 45 minutes to buy Alex a pair of jeans
• sitting in traffic for over an hour to drive less than a mile
• lying on the ground at Skyline because I tripped on the ice and watched my new iPhone slide across the parking lot
• wrapping presents until 3 am Christmas Eve

Well, it I wait long enough, I tend to get my answer...


By the way, the ABBA cd got the biggest reaction. She asked for a signed guitar from ABBA, but Santa couldn't get his hands on one. Darn Mama Mia movie...
