My family (DParents, brother and sis) have asked for a Christmas list.
DH has a few bits on his that he has jotted down through the year (mostly stuff for the garage/car).
The DCs are easy as they are 4 and 1.
But I can NOT for the life of me write a list.
There's nothing I want or need. If I try to write a list I have to go shopping online to look for stuff I actually don't really need or want, but just to make a list...
Help!
I don't wear perfume or makeup
I don't need any new clothes
I don't really "do" IT gadgets (and would be out of budget probably anyway!)
We don't buy DVDs or collect them, so it just wouldn't be something I would want
I have no idea what CDs are out at the moment
I like reading but don't get time to concentrate (see ages of children! ) plus I use the library...
What else do people ask for at Christmas time?
The only thing I came up with was an advanced driving lesson to teach me how to drive in the snow because I am scared I will have to do it with the kids in the car and I don't know how. Is that a stupid present? I would be happy with that and nothing else!
I feel really ungrateful. I haven't even started shopping (although I have received the round robin email with everyone else's lists so I should be ready to go). Actually feeling a bit stressed and sad about it and like I am being a humbug. I just want everyone to be together and happy, but feel cheesy and naff saying so.
