We all remember how easy it was to answer the question “What do you want for Christmas?” as children.
We flipped through the holiday toy catalogues circling an item on every page, and shouted “THIS! THIS IS IT!” every time one of those hot commodities appeared in a TV ad. There were so many exciting new things we just had to have! But now that we’re adults (more or less), the things we feel we need to make our lives complete can’t be found in a toy catalogue, or placed underneath the tree.
