[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to use gossip to your advantage. This coming fall, right after Halloween, you need to call the most gossipy relative in that branch of the family "to say hello". Then you drop hints. Dh and are so happy; we were talking this weekend and realized our house is fully decorated exactly the way we want it. There is not ONE THING we want to add to the house! How long did it take you to feel like you'd decorated your house exactly the way you wanted?" Then you drop the "let's talk about the holidays. Do you have any ideas of what JimBob and Michelle want? All we want are experiences - museum memberships, aquarium memberships, etc. Do you think Michelle would like that?" This way you've said what you DON'T want and let them know what you WOULD like.
