Every year, the same problem effects each and every one of us, namely, the question of what to get everyone on our list for Christmas.

(Actually, anyone who doesn't actually celebrate Christmas probably doesn't go through this dilemma. But thanks to Birthdays, Anniversaries, and other assorted occasions, they can identify with the principle.)
