Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for Noember 25, 2005

1. Did you make a wish list for Santa when you were a kid? Do you still make a list?: For a while, yes. Usually we just marked the pages in the Sears and JCPenny catalogs. I still have a wish list on my site.
2. What would you most like to find under the tree this year?: A digital camera. Or cash. Cash is always good.
3. What is the best present you've ever received? Why?: That's hard. I think it's a toss-up between the tires my mom got for me and the antique mixing bowl Jon found for me two years ago. They're both great for very different reasons. The tires were (are!) infinitely useful and something I might've had trouble purchasing myself. The bowl was practical and thoughtful -- Jon went back to antique store we had browsed together and picked it out.
4. What is the worst present you've ever received? Why?: Probably all of the "one size fits all" sleepshirts I got as a kid when I was clearly too big for them.
5. Describe your own holiday gift-giving strategy. Do you use a wish lists?: Even though I like to come up with my own gift ideas, I really prefer to compare them to wish lists. It lets me know whether my own ideas are on track and gives me ideas in those instances when I don't have a clue.
