After much harassing lately, I am in the midst of assembling a Christmas list. I have been off work today sick, so I figured this would give me something to do. This issue has been a bone of contention in my family in the last couple of years. The last 2 years I have prepared online Amazon Christmas lists of items I wanted, only to have them pretty much ignored. Me being a forward thinking chap like I am, I wanted to make things as easy as possible for my family, as I am a very hard person to buy for. I’m very particular about things at times. The biggest beef my family had with my lists is that they had no way of knowing if anyone else had bought a certain item off of my list, or if they bought off the list, I would know because it would then be checked off. I’m hoping to remedy that this year by using a service called MyGiftLIst. It enables me to make a list and send it to friends and family. They can then buy the items wherever they choose, then check it off the list so others won’t buy the same item. It should be pretty fool-proof Hopefully this year people will actually heed my list.
