Books
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. Cicero
Yesterday we put a serious dent in our Christmas shopping. Unbelievably now, we are almost done. A couple more items to buy and I will begin wrapping the gifts which is my favorite part of it all.
Our local bookstore was the place we found many great gifts. I always believe books make the best gifts. (And chocolate, also.) There are inevitably several people on everyone's list that defy gift-giving choices. To put it mildly, they are the difficult ones to buy for. Either they already have everything or they live in a small place and have no room for more or any number of other reasons.
So I tend to get books for many of my family and friends. I believe we all need a library in our home, even if it is just a small collection of books. I don't know how I would live without reading books. They have provided my knowledge and entertainment since I was five years old and learned to read.
