Gifts for Holly
So, here's the deal. Every year it gets to be time for Christmas and birthday
presents, and I find myself being asked what I would like. But, of course, I
never really remember what I would like.
So I thought I would try to keep a living document here, and people, as they
needed an answer to that burning question, could look one up. Perhaps if I
try to keep a list as I go along, I will have a better answer when the question
comes up.
My apologies if that seems, well, cold.
