re: #5 Anymouse 🌹

There are very few people in my family for whom I would buy holiday presents.

My sister and I pooled resources and purchased an apartment-sized washing machine and microwave oven for my mother in Chicago. They were delivered and set up a couple days ago. (My mother can no longer get into the basement laundry of her apartment building.)

Our friend in Victoria, BC (who sent us the Tim Horton’s coffee and chocolate) received knitted slippers, mittens, and two toques my wife made.

My wife and I do not usually buy specific holiday gifts for each other (mostly because we surprise each other with gifts all year long).

That must be huuuuge
