Now tagless for your comfort.

Tom Scola worked with a Furry?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Curls up in the fetal position.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor Tom.

So, anyone know what I should give my cousin's husband and/or my aunts for Christmas? I have no good idea about any of their interests. Ugh.

Ornaments!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

How long does it take a first class letter to get to Paris?

Less time than it takes it to get to my hometown from here? (Seriously.)

Your city to Paris is probably pretty damned efficient.

Which doesn't really answer your question.

Hmm. I know my aunts have a metric shitload of Christmas stuff, but maybe that makes it a collection, and therefore fair game to be added to.

Is it a major metropolitan thing?

If you go with something like the Hubble ones, they double duty as being not just xmas. But your aunts may not be as geeky as me.

It helps. Mail here to an institute in Germany is faster than mail here to my parents, but right now I'm completely blanking on how long to Munchen takes (and my parents' mail is really fucked up.) I know Fedex is less than 5 days unless someone at customs tries to sit on the package and hatch it.
