There's no denying if you're depressed, lonely, or feeling generally melancholy during a time of year that's meant to be extra merry, it can make one extra sad.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas because you have a hammer, a screwdriver, and a power drill next to the recliner in the living room. Once the gifts are opened, the assembly begins, and the process could drag on for five hours or so.
It's the thought that counts. Unless the thought includes something that creates more work for mom and dad, or noise, or trash. There are some gifts that make parents cringe!
Thank you, gift gods, that there are still one or two gift ideas that still seem to be well-received by most people and come across as thoughtful, even. Ready?
