During the holiday season, I always dread finding Christmas gifts. I enjoy shopping, sure, but spending hours in badly lit stores trying to find something that each of my family members will actually like presents a significant challenge. I usually give up and grab the first few items that seem like they could work, and then I feel awful for failing to put any effort into my gift-getting.
Even in the years I've actually tried, there was some hole in my plan. One year I designed t-shirts for every member of my family, only to be foiled by a lack of time and creativity. There's always one person that I simply can't find anything for. If I find perfect gifts for the first three people, then I'm always stumped by the fourth.
The problem is that I want to get the perfect gift for everyone, because subconsciously, I want to try to make everything perfect. This annoying drive for success makes classes like AP English possible, but annoys me to no end when it applies to real life. Fortunately, I will not receive failing grades from my family members if I get them boring gifts, so the need for perfection will inevitably be trumped by laziness.
