DYK Thread for December
**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**
DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know
It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members
Below are some fun DYK blinkies--feel free to snag any if you like:

Is that your beautiful dog in your avatar??
I'm not in the giving spirit either this year.
I'm feeling very scrooge-like, especially today for some reason!
Hey Sofia!
I'm glad Michael is feeling better!
Although it might be good for him to be sick, so he can slow down a little and get some rest!

Mine and DH's families are so big, that gift-giving is a major ordeal
Thankfully, in DH's family, we do a "Pollyanna" thing for the adults, where we pick names anonymously on Thanksgiving
It doesn't include all the kids, and my FIL is exempt
We all buy gifts for him
My family is another story
I have to buy for *everyone* in my family!!
Ya know, I would be fine exchanging very little with my DH on Christmas
Maybe just some little trinket and a card
But no matter what I say, he goes ALL OUT for me, and that makes me feel obligated to do the same for him, even though he tells me not to
And I'm always stuck trying to figure out what to get him, since he leaves me clueless
The other day I asked him what he wanted and he said "You" LOL!
Then this morning on the phone, I asked him again, and he said "Sleep"
I can't win. . .
I got my DH a digital photo frame last year
He put it in his private office at the hospital
How sad about your step-mom's son :(
I can't imagine losing a child
luckily we really don't exchange with DH's family at all, we just get something for his dad and step-mom.
DYK -
that's what we do...
Each adult couple will pick another couple and each cousin will pick a cousin.
You think that's bad?
My mom thinks because Michael makes more money than my BILs, we should buy her twice as many gifts, or a gift that is twice as expensive
(Never mind the fact that we have the most kids, and Michael has a bigger family than my BILs)
She's never said this to our faces, but I've heard it through the Greek Grape Vine, LOL
When my MIL was alive, she used to compare the gift we gave her with the gift we gave my MIL
Somehow, she would find out what we gave my MIL, and I have no idea how, because I never told her!
My mom is a nut!!
