Saturday Musings

 ARE YOU THRIFTY OR STINGY? Question I dare ask you especially at this time of the year when Christmas is fast approaching. 

I was thinking that gift-giving no longer apply, eh? OMG! I used to hear this from my husband, " don't buy me  any gifts. I don't need anything." Wow! Do I have to tell him too that it's , "ditto." Same with me??

Of course we have to buy gifts for my children no matter what even if they are young adults already. When I was their age, it was me already who presented gifts to my parents. Why not? I have a job and I was employed earning monthly salary, although not much I was a generous human being. I always give maybe not much, I GIVE because that's my personality and that's my kind of character. Never been I am so madamot. I was stingy to some humans who have everything like they don't need any gifts at all. Would you give to somebody whose got almost everything? Or give to somebody whom you don't really like? It's a total pain, right?

Canadians are generous people. My husband is very thoughtful and generous. He loves to give me gifts in jewelries, mostly gold and diamonds and few gemstones. He also give gifts to my parents. My in-laws have the same value of generous giving. Sometimes, for some valuable reason would rather ask him, cash is better as gift. I like shopping the things I like and things I would like to use and wear. Seldom do I like gifts given to me. I am very particular and choosy about things. However, my husband has good taste and his other gifts are of good quality from computers, digital cameras, jewelries, wristwatches, perfumeries or fragrances, and appliances. I don't like him buying me clothes or shoes. His taste for clothing is not my type of clothing. I would rather have fabric or textiles that I could sew and choose the style I like. My fashion sense is more like "Star Wars." LOL. I mean,  where could I wear those costume dress/gowns of Padme and Princess Leah? Yup only for photography or just for Halloween celebration on Hallow's Eve. Recently, my favorite costume for Hallow's Eve were that of Vampire's and Witches. Of course not a witch. Darn it, don't even have a flying broom and a huge boiling wok of potion.

------------------------------------------------

Opsi, they won! CANADA WON! Congrats! Canada will play Australian Team in the Finals Championship.

Never I've seen this tennis tournament with so much loud noise because of the band and megaphones from Italian Team, the fanatics. Later on Canada had their own band drumming the same beat of appreciation for the match.
