Ah, handmade gift season…you are so wonderfulhorrible. So full of energy, best intentions, the power of love transmitted by handmade gifts! And also so full of feelings of ‘Too Much’ and ‘Where Were Those Boundaries I Put Up?’
I call it the Dreaded Gift Creep.

The second step seems so logical.
The third step seems only fair.

The fifth step is acceptance.
