Dog, I remember being forced to write thank you notes for crappy gifts for years. I spent every December 26th laboring over that crap. Now I spend the day doing no writing at all if I can get away with it. I mail merge my thank you note to the various addresses on the 27th and then snail mail them.
Lucky Grandma, she’s managed to pass on one of the family heirlooms. We have 4 shelves of them in the basement that we’re trying to convince grandchildren they should take. They seem definitely underwhelmed with hearing “this was your great-grandmothers, etc. etc.” But then I didn’t want this type of stuff when I was their age either!

On the plus side, grandma is sleeping better now that she has gotten rid of the haunted moose.

I thought its proper name was Ornamental Ceramic FAMILY HEIRLOOM Moose. I suppose OCM is the abbreviation.

It’s not just a ceramic model of a moose.
It’s a ceramic model of the much-feared North American vamoose.
He’s right to have nightmares about it.

I love the way that moose is drawn. No, I don’t want it at my house because I don’t want to dust it, but it is still delightful.

Alice is right, Madeline. Your son is doomed. He’s moose chow!
Move the Moose!
