Welcome new author!

I just invited Karl to be an additional author on the blog. 
I have no idea why he wasn't invited before. 
I suspect he was invited but did not click the button in the email to accept his invitation.
Accept!  please accept!  We'd like to hear from you Karl.

Christmas 2017

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the Sibling Christmas Sex Change Blog!

I don't know if anybody cares or has other plans in the works, but I have a simple proposal to make for Christmas this year. Nothing particularly new, but I enjoy it, so that's why I'm writing this at 1 in the morning while watching the first episode of Taboo on Hulu.


First of all, we're scrapping the cousin gift exchange because I'm jealous of all the sweet toys that you guys give. And I think we should just keep things real simple this year, so no cousin gift exchange this year. 

My suggestion is that we just do the classic $10 gift card exchange. Everybody gets randomly assigned a sibling and they will gift them to a restaurant of their choosing. If the requested restaurant doesn't have easily obtainable gift cards, then you can just send a $10 bill. If you'd really like to save on postage, a $10 venmo transfer is acceptable. Once you receive your gift card/$10 bill/venmo funds, your job is to take a picture of yourself/family at that restaurant and post it back here (or send it to me and I will post it) so we can all enjoy your smiles and happy faces.

Here are the random assignments:

Karl gives to Kaleb
Eli gives to Luke
Tina gives to Karl
Luke gives to Tina
Kaleb gives to Eli



Your job is to reach out to your assigned sibling to ask them what their preferred restaurant is. This has a second effect of encouraging conversation between you and at least two other siblings. If you can't make contact in a reasonable time frame (for whatever reason), the assumed favorite restaurant defaults to Chick-Fil-A.



Let me know what you guys think, otherwise I'm going to assume that everyone is in accordance and move forward.

P.S. Taboo is a pretty good show so far. I'm only one episode in, but it has my recommendation.
