you chose wisely

the toughest thing about Giftmas is holding onto presents until the proper time. i'm reasonably good at sneaking and plotting, but my enthusiasm screws me up. "item X is awesome! i want C to have it Right Now!" i gave him a present back in October because i couldn't stand to know that i had it and he couldn't use it. (a Sansa Rhapsody, glad i got it then since it looks like all the 8GB ones are gone now, for which he periodically continues to thank me. he uses it every day. score!)

is it creepy that i get an ego boost from seeing stuff i chose greeted with enthusiasm? (and a little sadness if i miss, or don't hit hard enough...last year's bottle of Tokaj is still untouched in the back of the fridge.)

not creepy at all. It's awesome to get the perfect gift for your loved one. It's like if romance is science, gifting is technology.

And yeah, I've given crap gifts too, and I get a bit bummed about it.

I never have trouble waiting until the designated gifting day, though. I am a slave to convention.
