Didn't mean to make you feel bad about it. Just wanted you to know.
I laughed when you said your mother-in-law was the most difficult to buy for. I have teenager nephews. My husband says "Gift cards for gas". Great answer, but I'm of the "They have to have at least one thing to unwrap" generation. Truly, no clue, what to buy them.
Ellen, you can never make me feel bad. I've enjoyed getting to know you.
Pamela, I don't have a clue what to buy teenage guys unless you can afford a car.

It is always interesting to read about other peoples Christmas habits.
There seem to be soo many we all have in common and also there is always that one that seems eccentric and unique to that particular family.
