I'm in an odd situation. My brother and I don't normally exchange presents, but I do send gifts for their son. His wife told my mom that they bought me a Christmas present this year, and my mom told me that I'd be getting it either through e-mail or snail mail. It hasn't gotten here yet.

If it doesn't arrive by, say, January 2, do I mention it? If SIL had told me directly to expect something, I'd let her know, but since I heard about it second-hand, I'm confused. I know that if I sent someone a gift, I'd want to know it arrived, and I tend to call and ask if it's past the expected shipping date.
