So, my wife is now my proxy. And has drawn for me.
I may or may not purchase whoever's name I "draw." Sometimes it is hard to know what they really want, and in that case, Miss Debbie has the honor. ( She understands better than me, especially when it comes to female gift lists, she has often heard brand names of items on their list.)
I know, if you put strange things on your list, I try and get those......Heck, mainly it is because I am one who like "different" things anyway.
One year, a poem was one of the gifts asked for, so, not only did they receive a material gift, I wrote them a poem.
As sort of a "joke" I came up with 100+ items on my Christmas gift.
I now am expected to come up with 100 items for my list every year....Some ridiculous, some obtainable.
And even though there are no firearms on this year's list, I am not allowed to draw, for fear, I will buy for myself one of the more pricey of the items on the list. ( There are price limitations for the gifts)
So, no waging.
Just for fun....
