I like that sap. I didn't used to like the family get togethers, too stressful, but as I grew up I started really appreciating being able to just spend time with everybody. The first time I told somebody what was written in the card was the most important part of the gift they thought I was crazy.
Then again I have plenty on my list. It's all stuff I can't afford to buy, like a new MP3 player and backpack (to replace the ones that were stolen recently) and go fast car parts. My birthday is coming up too.
