This reminds of finding directions to the registry in my cousin’s wedding invitation.
Oy.
tacky tacky tacky…
I hate giving lists even when they’re requested. Seems to me if someone knows me well enough to want to give me a gift, they would know what I like. That’s how I approach giving.
And I also got the holiday greeting in the newspaper with my carrier’s address. The way I look at it, if you think you’re entitled to more money, get a better job! Anyway, it’s not like you get the paper to my porch… or even leave it in the same part of the yard every time… I did think under the car was uncalledfor, tho…
ho ho ho
Oh boy! Jodi is back and she’s brought contrived problems with her.
No one I know is crass enough to hand me such a list, even as a joke. If someone handed me such a list, they’d better not be calling lunchtime Christmas asking why I didn’t get them anything. They are likely to hear the truth. My friends and family know that. Heck, my family knows we are too poor to afford the secular Xmas retailers ram down your throat this time every year.
Crass and rude.

While we don’t circulate wish lists, in my family, we do ask each other what we want or need. Within the last five years, my brother, sister, and myself have all gotten married, purchased homes, and had children. Our needs have changed.
This year, though, because our family seems to be expanding by the minute, we decided to do the handmade gift thing. We all pretty much know what we’re going to be getting from each other, but that’s fine with us, because we all like what we’re going to be getting. 
The cards at the store that Jodi mentioned? Ugh. No way. Not at Christmas. I personally have no problem with bridal/baby shower registries, but there just seems to be something wrong with a card like that for the Holiday season.
