Since hearing no objections to my proposal, we are moving ahead with the new Christmas Gift Exchange plan. Although the easiest method would be to begin with the person immediately following you in the Crum chronology, I am suggesting we begin further down the line. This will allow the older brothers to get to know the younger siblings better, and allow them to buy gifts for them while they're still "children". So, take heed. You may begin to craft your gift early if you wish, or spend time exploring the mind of your designated recipient so that you can buy or make something tailored expressly for him/her/them. (I allow myself the use of slashes in this case since we do not have a third person pronoun that is either male or female and singular or plural.)
Peter and family will give to Elisabeth
Matt and Emily will give to William
Ben and family will give to Jesse
Jon will give to Peter's family
Nate will give to Matt and Emily
Thomas will give to Ben's family
David will give to Jon
Stephen will give to Nate
Elisabeth will give to Thomas
William will give to David
Jesse will give to Stephen
If, in addition, you wish to give a family photo or DVD to any or all of the others, that is perfectly acceptable (and quite desirable, as well).
