It amuses me that some of my family still give me gifts, even though I keep saying I don't want stuff.

On the plus side, when my youngest sister does so, she gives me things which will be used and then be gone. (Last year, candles. This year, tea. Caffinated tea, so I can only drink it in the morning)

So I just finished drinking some tasty green tea.

I'm also entertained to note that it's because said sister calls everyone on holidays that I _ever_ remember to do the same. I wonder how shocked my family was to receive calls or voicemail from me, this Xmas. :)

(on the minus side, the aunt who continues to give us presents doesn't know me at all. So her gifts are... odd)

I continue to prefer no gifts, due to not wanting more stuff which I just have to deal with in a couple years. However, this year, for those people who somehow feel obligated (I don't _think_ anyone reading me does, but just in case), I suggest donating to Heifer Interational on my behalf.

La!

(Come two years, I'll actually _want_ gifts again. Travel guides for each of the contiguous states in the US! And/or map books!)
