hee, thanks mdom!

xmas 2014 was the last one where we all got something for everyone - now this was only 9 people total, so... 8 gifts? i would get or make something for my husband, 2 daughters, 2 sisters-inlaw, brother-inlaw, and my mother-inlaw. my father-inlaw, on the other hand, would get the gag gift since he rarely showed up for xmas. (still doesn't). my daughters and my one sis-inlaw (hubby's sister) would always get a TON of gifts.

but there was still the 'what do i get for so-and-so?' ever year. so at a family dinner in octoberish of 2015, we decided to go for the secret santa, and that was the only person you *had* to get something for. in fact, my mother-inlaw asked my younger daughter, who was 14 at the time, if she was absolutely okay with getting only one thing that year, and she was. so a new tradition was born after like 20ish years! =D
