The Giving Tree is Really a Fucked Up Story

So far I've bought 2 Christmas gifts. I'm finally doing what I say I'm going to do every year and fail at...start early. I even know what I'm going to get the parents and my brother, though I haven't done it yet. I want to do this and not stress out about it this year and feel like my gifts are last minute fail. Also, spreading the hurt out over a few paychecks helps. I do love giving thoughtful gifts and wish I could financially give more. I give when I can. Sometimes it isn't in the monthly budget and that makes me sad. Hope I've never made anyone feel left out.
