This was the first Christmas I celebrated with my new husband and his family. In November, his sister sent a specific list of gifts for her and her three young kids (with links!). But we’re big readers, so we went to the bookstore and chose books for everyone, instead. When we opened gifts, my sister-in-law was furious at me (but not at my husband) for buying off-list. She even asked me to take back the books when we left!
