In my extended family, we are required to have Christmas lists on hand at Thanksgiving.
Sure, we like to give gifts that are surprises to the receiver and are well-planned, but to be frank, some guidance is often much appreciated. We keep track of those things that we wouldn’t necessarily buy for ourselves, but might really love to have in our lives.
If I didn’t already get to see and (literally) live with it all
the time because of my job, I would totally be asking for the Oberlin book this
year, and I’ll tell you why.
