I made out like a bandit this Christmas. With this being our first year with a tree and all, I fully expected one gift and that the rest of the gifts under the tree would belong to people who hadn't stopped by yet to pick theirs up.
But, lo, for some reason my husband loves me and since unlike me he is paid wages that are NOT reflective of the goodness of his heart, got me lots of loot.
I got a new cheese grater (we somehow managed to break two), a 30 GB iPod (wasn't expecting), a PalmOne Tungsten E2 (which will make me appear more professionally important than I really am), a cozy cardigan, some fuzzy socks to shuffle around in, a cake/pie stand (because I had been turning a cooking pot upside down over my cakes to store them), gift certificates to take gourmet cooking classes, a birthstone ring and necklace...and Scott and I got a Bible to share. Ahem. I'm sure some seriously misguided person bought that out of the goodness of her heart.
The one complaint I have about Christmas is that everything around here shuts down. Wal*Mart is closed. The grocery stores are closed. By the time I got motivated enough to go out and do some shopping for a Chrstmas meal last night it was 5:45. Most stores closed at 6. I made a pecan pie (of which each and every pecan was cracked by my own two ands using a pair of vise grips) and we had a Freschetta pepperoni pizza for dinner.
Oh well.

You'll love the Palm and the iPod and wonder how you ever lived without them.
Like that Storm Trooper ornament, oh by the way.
