Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Ok, so here is the big decision of the day.
I have nine nieces and nephews. Over the past few years, I have resorted to sending them each a check for Christmas rather than one for their birthday and another for Christmas as that makes it easier for me and less likely to forget their birthdays, which I was prone to do.
I'm not at all sure if my sisters still do anything for DD or DS in terms of birthday and Christmas gifts (actually, I think that one of my sisters.. who is single... sends them checks) but what they do with my kids isn't important to me in deciding.
I'm considering continuing the Christmas check tradition for each of them until they turn 30 and then just a Christmas card. It's not the money... its just I don't see it makes sense for me to send checks to 30-40 year old nieces and nephews when I'm in my 70s.
On DW's side, she no longer gifts to her adult nieces and nephews other than token gifts (like a card and a tin of home-made chex mix or pickles or something like that) but does gift to her younger nieces and nephews and her great-nieces and nephews.
What do you do with your young adult nieces and nephews?
