Since Mr. Negativity raised his ugly head on the other thread, I thought I should mention the good ones.

My sister-in-law got me a dark blue shetland wool sweater thats totally soft with lanolin. nice

My father-in-law found the first 3 books in the foxfire series on ebay something I've been meaning to pick up for several years. You never know when you're going to have to build a still or a bear proof pig pen.

My mother-in-law watched the kids so Pete and I could catch LOTR and go to our favorite mexican place with my brother-in-law and his wife.

All these presents considered who the receiver was, making it much easier to accept them with the proper spirit. g
