2.) Usually I'm the type that has bought gifts throughout the year. Bob tends to wait til the week before X-mas.
Way too early one X-mas morning we had all the gifts except one for his uncle. (A strange, loud & obnoxious older manchild.) We set out on our 2 hour drive to Bob's parents' place. I'm in panic mode, "We still need a gift for your uncle!" About 3/4s of the way there we see an open Walgreens. We emerge with; 3 cans of Planter's Peanuts, a foot long Radio Flyer Wagon, wrapping paper, tags, tape, & a pair of scissors. In the front seat of the car we; assemble the wagon (ha ha), form a pyramid of peanut cans in the wagon, & wrap it. (ha ha ha)
We give the odd mis-shapened present to his uncle after X-mas breakfast. It was the biggest hit of all the presents we have ever given him. Go figure!
