I love Christmas! I look forward to it every year. The best part of it for me is selecting that perfect gift that is sure to put a smile on my loved one’s face. Call me corny and maybe a bit too nostalgic but I truly believe that it is better to give than receive, especially this time of year. I know what to get my husband and my twenty year old daughter but oh what to get Tad, my thirteen year old son?
As I ponder in my mind how to get that genuine smile which conveys, “I LOVE IT!” on my sons face Christmas morning, I reflect on a conversation I had with my old college friend several weeks ago. She said that her fifteen year old son wanted to play in a rock band called “The RockinTweeners”. After much debate, my college friend and her husband got a very affordable childrens guitar. Upon reflection, I realize that could be just the gift I am looking for. I think Tad will love that and get hours of fun out of it! I think a beginner electric guitar will put the smile on my son’s face that I dream about!
