Idea - Christmas names...

Just a thought, since we haven't come to a consensus yet. Maybe for just this year, we can assign names to people (not secret) because it's too difficult to figure out without all getting together. For example, with the Renkemas, we have the girls switch names and the guys switch names. And to make it easy, we could assign by age: Mom has Sarah, who has me, who has Jenn, who has mom. Eric has Steve, who has Brian, who has Dave, who has ERIC.

This way we can still have a decent amount of time to look for gifts, without having to wait for a secret drawing (that CERTAIN PEOPLE would forget all about!!!).

Any thoughts??

I'm up for that. Though I would certainly love to be Steve in this arrangement, and not so much Eric!

Don't be too hard on her, Jenn :-) After all, it was her first day back at school!! You know that some of us haven't worked for a long time!!!!
Sounds like a good idea to me!

So, are we agreed? This is the plan? Now are we still doing the "used/garage sale/make your own/whatever" thing? I don't remember!!!! Someone please tell me! :-)
