An Open Letter to my inlaws and their teenage kids:

Your letter gives me pause,
for I am not Santa Claus.
While I wish you all good cheer
you write us once a year.
"Registry herein",
you pass off with a grin.
You never send a thanks,
have you confused us with your banks?
Sorry folks but Christmas ain't a wedding,
you're getting what you're getting.


This year they even added that if we wanted to send gift cards, we should buy them through SIL, as she gets some kind of rebate for that.
