The Greater Welbyfamily does a Secret Santa gift exchange for Christmas amongst brothers/sisters/aunts/uncles/cousins etc. because we have a large family, it’s easier to shop for one person, and you can typically get a little higher quality gift than you would otherwise get for the recipient.

Welbywife got a cool little flippy turn clock thingy at Brookstone for one of the gifts we have to give away.

Welby wants.

Welby wants BAD! :mad:  
Ever wanted to hijack a gift destined for other hands?

This is the reason I don’t like Christmas, I end up buying more crap for me then I do for everyone else. If it wasn’t for Christmas I’d me a rich man.
