Natalie won it this time! Or perhaps it was my dear mama who evidently made a sign bluntly spelling out the words and posted it at 11:59pm to take the cake. Regardless, our household was poorly unprepared for the traditional "Christmas Eve Gift" tradition and I just plain spaced it when the phone rang at 12:04 am on Christmas eve with my sister's number on the caller ID. My first thoughts were, "what does she want at this hour?" and "She must be out drinking...." (Sorry Nat).
So, you win, dear mom and sister Nat. I hope the gift was a good one!

What? Is the gift calling "first"?
Sheelagh whoever says "Christmas Eve Gift" or yells it rather, on xmas eve, gets to open the first present under the tree. A tradition in my mom's family for years....sorry it does seem confusing when I re-read it....
I was wondering this myself!
So funny! You're family sounds like fun!!!
