I refuse to go anywhere near a store this weekend. I hate crowds. On that other hand, I totally agree that Christmas is all about toys. I try to buy gifts that are not practical, but are something the receiver will love. My daughter wants both a slow cooker and a fondue pot. So I'll buy the fondue pot, because I know she will never buy it for herself. My sister is an author and loves to write, so I bought her a hand-crafted pen from one of my friends who makes pens and things as a hobby.
