Turtle mania

I'm giving one of my nephews a Russian tortoise for Christmas so I've been learning all I can about the species.

My sister called me today to find out more details. I think we have it all figured out. At least I hope so. I'm going tomorrow to get all the stuff the turtle is going to need. I've arranged with the pet store to pick the tortoise up on Christmas Eve morning and they also told me how to gift wrap it.

It's taken research, phone calls, you name it, but seeing my nephews face when he finally gets what he's been asking for will be worth it. But I've gotta admit, I think this is the last year I'm giving live presents. Last year I gave my niece and nephews a Chocolate Lab puppy. It's a lot more work than say, a book or DVD. Are there any presents you won't give?

Hope you're having a great Wednesday!
