Hello everyone. I hope you had a great holiday if you celebrate Christmas. I did!
I went to my parents' house and brought a cheese ball, bar nuts, and presents. We had a fun time hanging out, opening up the gifts, and eating the Christmas ravioli. After dinner we had a "white elephant" gift exchange where you could pick a present and then swap it with someone else if you didn't want it. I swapped ground coffee for chamomile coffee with my sister because I have a Keurig and she has a traditional coffee maker. It was fun!
I received some nice gifts including a Michael Kors purse, philosophy Senorita Margarita shower gel, and an immersion blender. I'm well off! I received some gift cards and shower gel in the white elephant exchange. I can't complain.
It was a nice time. The 4 and 6 year old were all hopped up on sugar and wild. They had a blast. The rest of us were more subdued but we still enjoyed ourselves.
How was your Christmas?

So glad you had a wonderful time. I got a Christmas gift surprise came ups! 3 good quality plastic containers from my health plan. I have a quiet Christmas for most everyone passed so we decided not to celebrate and we cousins all orphans now are on our own for holidays. Made a good meal of hamburger steak with mashed potatoes with mushroom brown gravy. Cooked and fresh salad and a yule log cake for dessert. Going to make warm cocoa now. Happy Holidays.

I'm glad you had a good time. We had a very quiet Christmas. Watched the s**w pile up to about a foot plus drifts and ate the cabbage rolls that we made on Thursday.

Merry Christmas. It sounds like a lot of fun at your parents house. Here it was quiet, just me and the kritters.
