Gifts that aren't.

[alphabassettgrrl]

If the gag gifts are funny, that's one thing. I kind of enjoy those. Not a huge fan of the stealing game, but that's often how it plays.

I hope you can find some joy in giving your thoughtful gifts, and knowing that whoever gets it will actually appreciate it.

My family did the "pull one name" thing for a while but we've all sort of fallen apart. My brothers and my mom and me are good, but the rest are estranged. It's in some ways a relief, which feels like a terrible thing to say.
