I had to run one errand yesterday, but not a big deal and even all the wrapping is done. So good luck on your last run to the store and I hope you enjoy the rest of Christmas Eve. And about that adult child--kids are tricky--for what it's worth, I would give him cash. Maybe with a card saying something like, "This is what we spent on your siblings and we want you to have it for whatever might be useful to you, even if you just bank it." Merry Christmas!

And about that adult child–kids are tricky–for what it’s worth, I would give him cash. Maybe with a card saying something like, “This is what we spent on your siblings and we want you to have it for whatever might be useful to you, even if you just bank it.”

Merry Christmas!

I didn't. Gotta make a run to the store this morning. I hate Christmas shopping. What can I say. Every once in a while I'm able to find something that is a blessing to the recipient, but more often not. This year one (adult) child specifically requested that we get him nothing. Do you think that will actually work? It probably would if he weren't coming over on Christmas morning. I don't know if he meant what he said or if it's some kind of devious test of his parents.
