This Christmas was a rather lovely fast-paced holiday that had me running all over North Texas to celebrate, drink and be merry.
Saturday was spent at my Aunt and Uncle's... and if there was a family with more drama I don't want to meet it. Thankfully I had a wonderful cousin to fill me in on all the juicy details I quickly spilled to my mom as soon as we got in the car to return home.
Monday was spent at my grandmother's where my dad and I rounded out our party to a solid 3 people. We are a wild bunch. She took us to 8 o'clock candlelight mass thing.
Tuesday was halved between my grandmother's still and my mom's. Mom took me to meet our crazy neighbors and hear their life stories. Fun!
But I think what I love most is the sheer randomness and abundance of some of my gifts. Let's take a look:
-1 bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-2 lemon zesters, because one just isn't enough
-3 blankets, one strangely furry, one soft and one green
-4 candles of varying yummy scents
-1 bottle of capers
-1 set of tools that smell strangely of oil
I would like to know if anyone received a gift more obscure than some of these. Just try.

Ah, you forgot the spoon rest, kitchen sissors and corkscrew in your stocking here! We are just stocking your kitchen sweetie!
Mom
but who needs two lemon zesters??
Jesse on the Edge was talking about a place where you could take your worst gift and trade with someone else for their worst gift. Sounds like an idea. You could rid yourself of one lemon zester that way!
I received the book "Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts" on CD from my future father-in-law. Hooray. He also gave me 250 bucks though, so really I'm very happy with how that visit turned out even though it was disheartening that he thinks that my future marriage is in danger.
I also got olive oil. And a roasting pan. It sounds like you need to cook something, stat.
