This is great feedback, I'm glad we at least all want to still do the exchange. So since Rach and Steve are so on top of it, and already sent their x-mas package, the subject seems sort of null and void. (you are seriously on top of it!) We continue the exchange as planned. That's cool. So if Steve gave to Jim, we're all going backwards one person? That's good to know. Wasn't this fun talking? Does anyone want to exchange cousins like Charlie suggested? We could you know...

Usually our family rotates year to year. Each couple exchanges with another couple and rotate annually so that you are always exchanging with someone else. The cousins do the same with one another. It works quite well. Just a thought.

Just for the record, we've already sent Jim and Mandi a gift...so we're good.
Merry Christmas,

Hello Family-cita,
I was just thinking about Christmas this year and I have 2 suggestions for discussion....
Suggestion #1: We do a x-mas exchange with the families we live by instead of doing the rotation. For instance, this x-mas we will be with dave/kar so we'll switch with them, The colorado bentley's can swap, and the Salt Laker's and Dan can combine together. That would be fun and simple... let me know your thoughts.
Suggestion #2: We could just can the whole idea and do no "required" gift exchange. Traditions don't have to continue forever. Another thought.
I vote for suggestion #1... what do you think? Mom wants you all to know she doesn't care a bit and has no opinion on the matter, she's not involved in any way shape or form. She's insistant on this point. She wants none of it. She's basically baa-humbugging chirsmas all together. j/k
The first 3 to vote get a special gift from me. No telling. Love you all!!!

P.S. I've committed the unthinkable crime of putting all our christmas decorations up. Even listening to music. This is the Canadian way, we celebrated Thanksgiving in October. It's liberating. Sorry to all of you post-thanksgiving decoration fundamentalists.
