Sheryl, have that discussion with your brother. My brother was the oldest on both sides of our families and our mother announced to all (us and all aunts/uncles) that the gifts should stop from aunts/uncles when he graduated highschool and she planned to do the same with the remaining nieces/nephews.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bah! Just lost power. Hope it’s not apocalyptic.

Hope you get power back soon, Hec.
Family gifts can be fraught. We’re all on the same page re: nephew and niece gifts (they get something, but it’s usually small), my nephew’s gift is still in transit. Now that I live half an hour from him, it’ll be easier to drop it off later.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy birthday wishes being sent out today to Quester and Emily! I hope you are being spoiled today and that the following year will be filled with happy surprises.
I've always been very random with family gifts, so no one has expectations. Random includes just sending something when I see it, no matter the time of year.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
My family calls them un-birthday presents. [link]

Only about an hour, but we were in bed by then. I had to go downstairs to reboot the wifi but otherwise it's another grey, post-xmas day.
I have to shift into travel mode soon for Japan.
I did get my Passport Card in the mail yesterday. The book should be in by Monday.
I need to talk to my travel expert resource for where to stay in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Share this with me as I am planning a springtime visit to Japan quite seriously.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Jimmy Carter has left us. I knew it was coming, and I knew he was ready. But, as the lady said, it's always sudden.
Ave atque vale, Mr. President. We shall not see your like again.
