last year I just wrapped a box of chocs and put them in the bag from the kids, just a token gesture.
He gave the lads some money to "buy your mum something nice, but don't tell her I gave you the money", of course they did.

last year it felt comfortable, this year none of us feel comfortable, we only discussed this tonight, neither of the lads feel that they can choose something, they both said they don't know what he would like, after two years they don't know what he is in to.

I looked at christmas cards tonight, but they don't print them with the words for the situation I find myself in \:\)
