I have one (UK) wish list item this Christmas

If anyone in the UK family is reading, and hasn’t yet got me a gift, and intends to get me a gift, the only thing on my wishlist is Absolutely.

Or alternatively, DON’T. Just get a gift for mini-Elbeno, as I’m sure you’ll want to.

I admit that I’m not a very good gift giver – I frequently remember 3 weeks beforehand, buy a card, and forget all about it. But that’s because I’m not really an eager gift receiver – the thought is appreciated, but I’d really as soon have an email or a webcam session as participate in a mass exchange of gifts, and I’ve long thought that cards are fairly useless, at least between people who correspond more than yearly.

Next year (assuming it’s too late this year), let’s figure out a gift exchange on the UK side. On the US family side we’ve done this for some years; as adults we really don’t need to be receiving gifts from everyone.
