I am wearing a sweater indoors, and I have wool socks on. I live in California and I cannot imagine what anyone in the northeast does during the winter. I can still sail if I choose to, and even with my options open, I need a sailing vacation!
So, this year I will treat my family to a stocking full of sailing opportunities. They don’t need bamboo pajamas or a new smartphone, or even that nice dutch oven that has been hinted at in the kitchen. Nope, my family is getting the gift of sailing this Christmas season.
Maybe you should rethink your holiday gift ideas.
