For the little Wednesday Addams in your life

September 10, 2014 by NTE Leave a Comment

I’ve noticed that all sorts of previously non-gift giving holidays have somehow, in recent years, become gift giving holidays; Easter baskets that used to be filled with candy now aren’t complete without toys and/or treats; all of a sudden St. Patrick’s Day has its own aisles in stores, ripe with all the green-colored candy you could crave; even Halloween has gone from strictly candy only to ‘maybe I’m supposed to buy the kids in my life something?
