we usually don’t buy any christmas presents for any relative, even though they give us all gifts every year. They just won’t stop.
This year, I’m going to buy everyone a book. Hell, I get a free $10 coupon at barnes and noble for every $75 I spend. plus I like choosing books for people. sometimes they like the book you give them…i get a charge out of that.
probably this is the year they stop buying us gifts.
my super-baby-young nephew’s going to afghanistan this week leaving behind a pregnant wife. he was at t-giving at my inlaws. I bought him and his wife a book on improving your marriage and gave it to them at thanksgiving. The family was all sitting around reading passages from the book and howling with laughter.
uncomfortable laughter, sure, but laughter.
it was funny! glad I bought it for them. the laughs were worth it alone.
also got her WHAT T EXPECT WHEN YOURE EXPECTING. she didn’t have it. I thought everyone in america got that when they got pregnant…
