Christmas Lists

I just need a place to organize the stuff...and the people who will get the stuff...lol.
I hope/pray that someday I will actually enjoy doing this. At least I recognize that the stress is from fearing people will be disappointed in their gifts. When I anticipate that someone will be very pleased, I do enjoy it. So, Lord, help me to do this gift giving tradition to please you, and not to please others. Let me hear what you desire to bless others with through me.
