Birthday Gift

    What makes for a good- no, great- birthday gift? Is it something store bought? Being treated out to some place special? Perhaps something hand made? The answer, is all of the above! So many people think that every gift needs to be store bought and wrapped up neatly, but that's not entirely true.
    Today was my grandfathers birthday. How did we celebrate and what did I give him? My mom and sister came over and we all sang to him happy birthday first of course. Can't have a birthday without the birthday song ya know. My mom brought over his favorite meal, chow mein. What I gave him, I had been working on last night. It was a drawing of a deer, or a buck. He's a hunter, and now that it's hunting season, he hasn't gotten much luck out there so far. So in a way, he was happy too have gotten his first buck of the season. One that he'll be able to keep around throughout every season. Knowing that I've made him happy, makes me happy too.
    Everyone is different, we like and dislike different things. If it's something store bought, something they need, if it makes them happy then do that. If there's some place they really want to go that will make them happy, then do that too. So if you're unsure of what to get, or perhaps don't have the money for what they want, at least spend some time with them. Even if it's just saying, "Happy Birthday", that says you remembered them on their special day. Something from someone no matter what it is, will always be special to the receiver because they know, you had thought of them. It's always the thought that counts.

    This is Jack-Jack saying, until tomorrow... Good Night!
