When I was helping Santa, I ate a piece of candy that was going in one of the kids' stockings. Then to keep the stockings even and not just shorting one kid, I had to eat a piece of candy from all the other kids' stockings. And I have a lot of kids.

Just keeping everything even, you are doing a good deed Carvers.

I willingly listen and enjoy Justin Bieber's new music.

Because of WDSM, I am doing the same thing.

No shame in that. His new stuff is pretty good

WDSM, we knew this about you. Not to be judgemental but the rest of you are all weirdos.

Is it too late now to say sorry?

Count me in but it's not just Bieber for me. I listen to a lot of music that I can't openly admit to in most groups of dudes.

That's awesome. Thanks for the laugh out loud.

how many do you have, Carver? And all boys? I've always thought it was 4-5 but realized I don't actually know!

In-laws got us a gift that we specifically told them not to get us as we weren't sure we would get one and wanted to research on our own before doing so. Could tell they were slightly "boo they don't like our gift" when neither DH nor I were thrilled and he asked about the gift receipt. At least two separate convos of "try it out, we really like the one we've used, etc., etc."

Now I just want to return it without ever opening the box. Don't even care if it's the best version of the item ever.

How mysterious...now we're left to our own imaginations to guess at what your inlaws got you.

We hosted 15 or so people on Christmas day. There was plenty of drinking, food and Cards Against Humanity. I passed out before 8 PM and my wife had to clean up on her own.

I didn't think about or even wonder about doing a Santa gift until someone asked me if she got anything from Santa.

Oh well.

I'm thinking something from an adult store!!!!


vacuum. They are very generous and did get something else we suggested, but we were both fairly annoyed that they completely ignored what we had said about that particular item. And then were upset that we didn't like that they got it. They have a history of ignoring our "suggestions" and getting things like clothes (terrible idea for DH and I) but this was the first time a very clear "please do not get us X item" was blatantly ignored.

FTR, I would be completely and totally fine with no gifts at all and have suggested paring down in the past.
