Christmas Shopping
This is the first year all the children have bought presents for each other. I had never thought about how hard this would be to arrange, as they are not old enough to go off by themselves in a store. Raquel took Moriah and Toby on Monday, and Elsie later in the week. I took Samuel on Wednesday, and Peter yesterday. It was a continual exercise in practical math. “How much is this?” “How much money would I have left?” “How much can I spend on the average for each person?” It was marvelous fun, and there is already no room left under the tree even though I haven’t wrapped my presents for them yet!
