For Christmas, please make sure you talk to our spouse about stuff!! We can’t very well take something off the list because we know someone else got it…then the surprises would be ruined!  Just TALK, I say!
This is the ultra-efficient way of answering mom’s question: “What do you want for your birthday?”
