"I'm named after the song A Letter to Elise by The Cure, and my middlenames: Klara and Lisel were chosen because my mom had a dream about having a daughter named Klara, and she promised my great-grandmother that she would name me Lisel."

Sounds like my mom and me… Or really, everyone I know and me. Apparently I’m impossible to shop for!

My mom has given up on buying me things as well…..she will attempt to be sneaky when we are at target or somewhere and just push the cart so she can make a dash for the checkout without me knowing….she wins about 1/2 the time…..

Your Mom sounds so special and unique! Now we know where you get it from. I hope you all enjoy the holiday together, even the cats and Mommy doggy! Enjoy!

I know how mom feels. Christmas has beaten me down too.

isn’t coldwater creek the one with all the powder blue sweatshirts with penguins and snowmen on them?…if someone gave me one of those, I’d punch them in the face.

Hoping you’re over 50…
