I got this one from Jen Robinson's blog. Apparently, there's a new initiative in town, and it's called Buy Books for the Holidays. I'm behind this, and here's why:
1. Books are easy to wrap. Square or rectangle. Done and done-r.
2. When wrapped, the little stinkers can tell it's a book, but which one? Which one?!? No amount of rattling will give the title away. The suspense will make them crazy, which we all know is the best part of the holiday.
3. One-stop shopping, baby, be it Amazon, B&N, Powell's, favorite indie store that smells like cats and incense. With the price of gas, who wants to go driving all over Hell's half-acre for that elusive red shirt that your teenager wants?
4. The start of a lifelong addiction. Get 'em hooked early, and the next thing you know they're knocking on the library windows at 9:59 am, desperate for their lit fix. Muahahahaha.
Are you giving books for the holidays?

Great list of reasons - ha!
And buy book even when it is not the holidays! I go to birthday parties where there are literally sometimes 30 or more kids and I am the only mom who ever gives books! Four year olds can never have too many books!
