Hi Stoic,

No apologies needed - I appreciate all the feedback!! All of this is so hard and confusing, it is very helpful to have all the different perspectives on it.

You nailed the problem, that's for sure. And I wouldn't have to decide right now except for them mailing that packet to our house - but I think I will go with the "let me get the mail, a gift is on the way" plan.

We talked about it in MC and decided to exchange gifts this year, so it won't be "pressure-y" or weird to tell him that a gift is coming. It's also pretty much true, I have a number of mail order gifts coming... so I think that's my best bet and buys me some time to decide.
