Since Zoic’s recent discovery, I’ve done my best to understand why a family would buy gifts a year in advance. Further, I’ve tried to understand why this isn’t weird to Zoic. She explained to me that her family used to stockpile gifts all year, and then unload them at the end. Apparently she got pretty decent at finding them early. I’ve done my best to explain to her that this is isn’t normal. I’m not sure what the odds are that another family would do the same thing. Also, I can’t understand why a family would have presents in December that they weren’t going to give their kids. New Year’s is only a week after Christmas. Would those presents even be good the next year? Well, I can’t say I’m not enjoying them.
