It's not just that the piles have to be even--it's also that they have to be of the same quality. You can go crazy two days before Christmas looking for one "small--yet useful--yet interesting gift." Julie, I hope your New Yorker fiction issue finally got there. It's wonderful! Also...maybe it's best that it comes after Christmas. Mine was definitely a major distraction when I was supposed to be doing other things! Happy New Year to you all! Samantha, I know just how you feel.

My issues never seem to get here on time since I live at the edge of the continent. Merry Christmas, Sandi!

As you know, the more children that are in a family the more crucial the evening of the piles really is. . . I have one pile that I can't seem to make equal with the others, it needs one more small- yet useful- yet interesting gift. Oy-I will not be outdone by a pile. Merry Christmas Sandi!!!

This is our first year for attempting even piles, and one of the pile-ees doesn't even know or care about presents. Happy Christmas, Sandi! Ah, yes, even piles.
