i just counted the presents list from 2001 (of the presents i've GIVEN!). i've kept the records since 2001 christmas just so that i don't duplicate any gifts every christmas. average presents list? 14. i don't think that's bad...but then i'm single, so that means, when (and if) i get married, it'll AT LEAST double. not a pleasant thought. i like gift-giving. i often wish i were rich so i can give people what they need (i'm a firm believer in need-gift-giving, not want-gift-giving).
