Christmas has been great! I have about 5 boxes of chocolates/cookies currently on the go. The latest edition, a 4 lb box of Belgium choc covered cookies that my mom gave to bf (the bf predicted I'd be the main consumer and what do you know.. self fulfilling prophesy!)
We had hotpot at my folks last night, and turkey dinner at boy's grandmas house the nite before. Boy's uncle commanded that boy make the same turkey every year. An aunt (the sweet quiet one that I like) ardently asked him for the recipes to everything, because her boys loved it so much. Also a hit were my mashed potatoes, his gravy, and his blood orange cranberry sauce, which made great smoothies after.
my mom buys the weirdest gifts. ie. for my brother, she got, in this order:
- a pen holder with folk art llamas on it (he doesnt have a desk job or care for llamas)
- a medicine mask (no idea what for)
- a hand-cranked flashlight with radio and personal alarm (the noise from hand-cranking is louder than the alarm, lol)
- an emergency foil blanket
.. and she got me a 72 hour emergency kit, so I think she's got a 6th sense the rest of us were born without.
My family loved their gifts, especially my dad and his backpack and my bro and his Cdn Tire gc!
I feel pretty spoiled this year too.
