The really interesting part with Christmas presents is the ones I give to my in-laws and the ones they give to me. My in-laws usually ask my husband for help and my husband gives names of some books that could have my interest. But somehow these books are not to be bought at my in-laws supermarket kiosk; I get a Barbara Cartland novel instead.“Mother-in-law, did you really get me this year’s Nobel winning book?”
I also give my in-laws books. For my mother-in-law I am going to give ”How to become World Champion in Weightlifting in 30 days” and to my father-in-law “How to learn Serbo-Croatian in 30 days”. If they wonder what the rush is, I must remind them of their age and wish them good luck, I hope they make it before kicking the bucket. If they make it, I can just say that my money for the books was well paid off. And if they don’t make it, well, I guess it’s called a win-win situation.
