The Weight of Money

Thanks to my strenuous work schedule this past week, we’re very short on the obligatory holiday gifts. I know the partner has been stressing about the upcoming family festivities and the yuletide bearings he thinks we’ll fail to bring. However, I’ve had a secret plan hidden away among the late nights at the office and the few hours of shut-eye in between.

I plan to give the gift of love served up in edible fashion. Our gift budget is limited to the daughter and I feel no reason to overextend ourselves just to keep up with the brother’s family and self-inflicted-guilt expectations. This weekend, the daughter and I will venture into the kitchen and depart only once decorative tins of holiday cheer have been prepared.

I value the ability to enter the kitchen and leave with homemade treasures of love. Now, I must convince the partner that these delicious gifts will be appreciated just as much, if not more, than some store purchased item that isn’t really needed anyways.
