my parents did this for us when I was growing up and I loved every minute of it. I still remember racing to get to my present before my sister found hers. It was great.

“Some worries you can”
You’re only speaking for yourself homie, the majority of people can’t just stop worrying at will

Reply to LPT: For those who don't want to make a giant meal on Christmas, make Christmas Lasagna by timbillyosu
Lasagna at my parents’ on Christmas Eve, lasagna at my in-laws’ Christmas Day. Lasagna is Christmas tradition.

Slightly different angle here, I am reading a book on speed reading and one of the key points they unknowingly made was to find a tldr of anything you want to read quickly first. Having the context of how something ends let’s you more effectively focus on what’s important in getting there and what isn’t, so having that tldr can make it easier for people to read through a wall of text and find the pieces relevant to them.
It also said to read the spaces between words rather than the words themselves and your brain will just “process” the words very quickly, for anyone who is interested.

My parents did something similar to this with me and my siblings for christmas, and I think i'll do it with my kids later in life. It makes christmas a lot more memorable, and is still some of my best memories.

This is a great tip for email as well. When I interact with my boss, I try to distill the email to 3-4 sentences at most.

Also, TL:DR must start coming at the top, not the bottom.

I never just read the tldr, because the only way I find out there is one is when I read all the way to the end …

Thank you human. I just got done crying to my mother about these dark marks that just appeared on my leg . I am concerned they are signaling something significant with my health. I will try to give myself a break to enjoy my time with my family. Thank you for reminding me to.

Tbh, I don't usually care if someone actually reads my long detailed posts. Those who are truly interested in the topic will, and those who aren't actually interested likely won't read it anyways, nor will they usually have anything productive to add the the conversation.

I'm probably the one dude that just reads everything, then. The only time I can't is when it's absolutely illegible. Or they use an overabundance of slang and acronyms that I just can't keep up. Or straight up replace words with emojis like freaking hieroglyphics!

Oh come on that saves virtually nothing. A far better tip would be to reduce heating. By a factor of like, a million. By posting this you actually negated the benefit people could get from removing emails

My mom did this for every birthday growing up. It was our birthday “hunt”. We had clues tramped all over the house and yard until we finally arrived at our presents.
I couldn’t tell you a single gift I got as a child but I remember the hunts
