t SMALL TALK By Donna Fairey The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 19,1984 Fire Report 15 J Each year as the Christmas holiday converges, converges, I vow that the next one will be different. different. I make loud inner promises that less money will be spent, less food will be eaten and that there will be more organization. But nothing ever changes. The path to each of my Christmases is paved with good intentions. intentions. Just once I'd like to be one of those people who in early September proudly announces announces that the Christmas shopping is done and what's more, it's wrapped. This scenario, I suspect, suspect, is a myth in my own mind. Moreover, it has occurred to me that subconsciously I thrive on the pressure of a deadline. It's as if I enjoy engineering how precariously far I can extend not getting my energies into gear before before it's too late altogether. altogether. My only claim to fame so far this season is that the Christmas cake and pudding have been aging in the root cellar for the past month. Other than that, the normal state of panic prevails. The situation is something something like cramming for high school exams. I try to handle everything all at once and I can't remember remember from one day to the next what gift was bought or where it was hidden. Likewise, maintaining maintaining a running inventory is a major chore in itself. itself. Make one unplanned unplanned purchase and the entire divine plan is thrown out of whack. Unless something is done to rectify it, Child A ( heaven forbid) will receive one more parcel parcel than child B. In order to even up the unforgivable unforgivable inequity, Mom scouts around until she finds something something else for child B. But, horror of horrors, the extra gift for child B cost $5 more than the unplanned gift for child A.

Should the purchase exceed the five dollar mark, child A will then be getting more than child B and the costly chain reaction will continue continue until Mom drops from exhaustion or simply simply says to heck with it. Indeed, getting the booty gift wrapped after kids A and B have been evened off is no small challenge either. For some reason - bigger bigger house I guess - it has been particularly difficult difficult to keep track this year. It took me two days to ferret out one of the presents hidden safely away for child B. I refer to them as A and B, because once they become teenagers you know, they don't want Mom writing about them lest someone at school should tease them. Anyway, misplacing gifts has been so bad this Christmas that I considered a new and yet untried approach. For the real die hard find I've considered putting a note under the tree that goes like this. Dear Son: This is to officially advise you that the gift you requested requested is yours. However, However, I have decided to heighten your Christmas Christmas excitement by letting letting you find it yourself.
