Last year Adam and I only exchanged Christmas lists with ourselves as we were still only boyfriend/girlfriend we didn't want our families to buy for each other. But this year is different....so Adam has been introduced to the world of Christmas lists. For others, it is so easy to just right down a few things here and there and your family decides who is going to get you what....Well not in my world. And poor Adam didn't realize that there is a lot that goes into it...a list for Adam/mom & dad wright/sister wright, mom brown/sister brown/brother brown, and dad brown. You can't duplicate anything on the lists unless you want to make sure you double of them. Like put work pants on each list, but only list a movie on one of them. You try to incorporate something a little expensive on each list, because you don't know how each parent is going to buy. Is it the same price for everyone or the same amount of gifts for everyone. (that really only applies to my parents, not Adams).
And after all that, we do a Christmas drawing on the dad's side of the family...so you need to make sure that you keep at least three things on the side to ask for from them.
Now, everyone knows that I stress out about everything...and I am sure that when Alyssa reads this she won't agree with how hard core it is...but still....anyways, the point of the story is that now Adam is experiencing Christmas the way that I have my whole life.....4 of them....but now, we have 7!!!!!!
