Warning: Whiny, ungrateful, petulant, selfish thoughts ahead....
It is the end of January and I'm still frustrated about Christmas! I just finished returning the duplicate gifts. I had to drive 1/2 hour to the store to return them, and then 1/2 hour back.
Other gifts came in huge boxes of styrfoam peanuts. Not only bad for the environment, but VERY messy in my house.
But with all these gifts, what my kids really want are Tae Kwon Do lessons. Which cost a whopping $4,000 annually.
And our public school is facing huge budgets cuts, which will not likely be made up for by our largely low income family base.
Here's my wish for the next holidays. I wish instead of toys (which we are already drowning in) that they would give my kids cash. Or even better, give it to the PTA.
But whatever happens, I hope people will keep the peanuts to themselves.
