I forgot to mention - thank you Patty for the compliment you gave me on your other thread. I feel you're exactly right when you said this:

You're right this wouldn't be appropriate to do to anyone else. As I said before, she should have delivered those gifts last year. I also know that 'last minute feeling' you get, when you're invited when everyone else knew way before you. It's sad that most people treat their friends and acquaintances better than family. Sometimes I wish we could just blurt out whatever we felt like saying without worrying about consequences.
