When you’re young, making your Christmas list is one of the most exciting parts of the holiday season. You get to sit down and write out your heart’s deepest desires in the hope that Santa will have some of them waiting for you under the tree on Christmas morning.
Yet, as adults, we don’t tend to write gift wishlists anymore. Instead, we let people get things for us that they think we’d like. After all, it’s nice to get a thoughtful surprise from your loved ones. And you don’t want to seem greedy by asking for something in particular. So it goes; no more Christmas lists.
But we think a case can be made for making a wishlist for the holidays no matter your age. Here’s why.
- It makes life much easier for your loved ones when they don’t have to wonder what to buy you.
- You’re more likely to end up happy with what you receive, which will also make the gift giver happy.
- You’ll actually use the gifts you get, which is much better for the planet than letting them sit around collecting dust until you throw them out ten years later.
So in 2020, let’s start normalizing Christmas lists for adults, shall we?
