Does anyone else find it endearing to see men shopping for Christmas presents?   I think it is just about a sweet as seeing them love on a baby.  

I tried taking a "crack" at Christmas shopping yesterday and I was amazed at the Christmas hustle and bustle already going on.  (Ok, I have been locked up all week with a sick child).  I saw so many men, carrying Ann Taylor, Soma, Coach (lucky lady) shopping bags.  They looked a little lost roaming through Town Square.  I didn't see any lists,  any smiles, any cups of Starbucks in their hand making the shopping experience all the more fun.  To all you men out there who shop for their sweethearts and loved ones, thank you, we love and appreciate it

When I was a teenager,  I was the "official giftwrapper" for my Dad.  He would come home from the mall with Anais Anais perfume (Mom's signature scent back in the day), packages of Hanes stockings  and some new kitchen gadget; a cuisinart or kitchenaid product.  I loved helping him wrap, it was tradition and I am all over tradition.
