I know it's still early, not even December yet, but we've already started making lists here at home.
Years ago our family started a silly but practical little tradition in our household. We each made a Christmas wish list and stuck it up on the fridge with a magnet; you know, where you stick anything and everything you're too lazy to file away but too afraid to lose? This system worked for us. These lists have been helpful, even if we've ignored some of the more outrageous suggestions...a pony, their own bedroom, a spare set of keys to Mom's car. Now that the kids are grown and live some distance away, we post these wish lists in e-mails. It has provided us with much fun and thought and helpful ideas over the years. It has also cut down on the number of stupid Christmas sweaters I've had to endure wearing.
Of course we all know that this season isn't about the material gifts we both give and receive.
So, just what is on your paddler's Christmas wish list?
