I recently wrote a column about my love for the Sears Christmas catalog when I was a kid. You can read it here.
Reading back over the column in light of Griff's message this week makes me realize as a kid how much Christmas revolved around receiving gifts. As an adult, I notice it's become much more about giving for me.
Over the past couple of years I've found myself really enjoying shopping for Sara and my family and friends (be it in a store or online). Between that and the joy I get from cooking on the holidays, I don't think the kid I used to be would recognize the adult I've become (not that I can't be as selfish and receiving-focused as the next guy sometimes still).
How about you? How does Christmas for you, as an adult, differ from your Christmases as a child?

well for one, i dont wear my footy pajamas anymore. and i ask you why not?
Actually, Christmas for me, is way more hustle and bustle then i remeber it as a child. I can remember staying home all day and playing with all my loot- and I also remember snow. What happened to snow?
It's definitely not as exciting as before, but I find more fulfillment in the increased demand for creativity.
