I love giving gifts.
Maybe a little too much. This time of year, any time I have a little extra money, I'm always tempted to spend all of it on Christmas presents. I don't even need to have extra money! Even when I really need to save what little I have, I want to buy things for people. Half the time I have to stop myself from buying presents for people I have already shopped for. And the urge to buy things doesn't stop when Christmas rolls around. I usually stay in the shopping mindset through January. I'll be out and see something cool and think, "I should get that for <insert friend/family member here>, (s)he would love it!" Then I have to remind myself that Christmas was three weeks ago and I only have seven dollars to my name.
The only thing I like more than giving gifts is wrapping them. In fact, I have actually gone out and bought things just because I ran out of stuff to wrap. When I wrap gifts that my parents got for my siblings, it isn't because I want to be helpful; it's because I can't stand knowing there are naked presents in the house when I have wrapping paper, tape, ribbon, and bows. It's actually a little ridiculous how excited I get when faced with a bare box.
(In case you were wondering, yes, I have started Christmas shopping this year. I started two weeks ago.)
