homemade tradition

I have a thing for homemade gifts.  To me, they are more meaningful.  So, a few years ago I started a new family tradition.  We each draw a name and have to make a homemade gift for that person.  My thinking was that it would increase love - as you spend time in service of that person you grow to love them.  You are thinking of them while making their gift.

It means a lot of work for me.  I have to make Alec's gift for him.  I usually have to help Chandler and for the last couple of years I've done Kevin's too.  Not sure this is really what I intended.
