I have long associated “My Favorite Things” with the holiday season. I know The Sound of Music, the movie that made the song famous, is not a Christmas story, yet the song’s theme rings true for any gift-giving occasion.

Don’t we always shop for gifts with the hope that they will be among the recipient’s favorites?
