Those folks need to be given a good can of whoop-ass for a gift! People (at least I do)spend time and money trying to come up with something special for everyone. If gifts are required in your family, remember railroad salvage or the dollar store for those folks. Reminds me of my brother, geeky-boy. He is the one who got us the coconut windchimes (tacky-tacky) in another post. Every year it is a joke what he will buy from salvage. Last year it was an outdated cheap ornament. Mind you, the kids get nice stuff, and we have them (along with the rest of the family) over for dinner. Start with smoked turkey, shrimp, roast beef (last year it was a 22 lb one), ice cream roll, etc. The meal is not cheap,and he always grabs the best bottle of wine we have out for himself. Plus, he invited HIS friend to dinner! At OUR house!
grrr bah humbug
