Some people are just not cut out for doing the Christmas present thing. John is one of them. It's not his thing, has never been his thing, and he - sadly - has never taken me seriously when I've said, "Do me a drawing or a small painting. Just give me illustrations of a could of our cats." He wants to do the right thing, but it feels to me that the right thing is taking what we already do to a higher level. Just skip the present thing. Because we have the celebration, the spiritual side, the loving & gratitude for All That Is totally nailed.
John is as incapable of understanding the whole present thing as a color-blind man is to appreciating the Louvre or a tone deaf woman is to appreciating Willie Nelson. Doesn't matter how much he wants to be, just isn't there. But so so so much else is, so who cares?!!
