A Snickers bar
2 pairs of underwear

I asked for the Snickers bar.

She says something should arrive in the mail soon. I have no idea what it is.

She got three big orchid plants for her collection. I bought her a laptop for her birthday last month and told her that might have to cover Christmas as well. It pretty much cleaned me out.

The kids got MP3 players, books, DVDs, dolls, horses for dolls, houses for dolls, dogs for dolls, surgery clinics for dolls, and more dolls.

And lots of these stupid things - http://www.toyquest.com/snubbies/snubbies_home.html

Some of them are as small as your fingernail. But the kids love them! I, on the other hand, enjoy the rattling noise they make as they rocket up the vacuum hose.

Well just heard my sister is getting married, she nailed one of the best hornplayers on the planet, good girl. Now all he got to do is don't die because he's very very ill. Can't have it all.

Typically my little sister, he got her a ring and a teapot, when he asked her if she was happy she told him she always wanted a teapot like that

A hangover, dang wine snuck up on me

Best gift of all: My daughter and her husband came up from Richmond Virginia on the friday before Christmas. We went on a little wine tasting tour on Saturday, bought two cases of New York States' finest. Hit the Niagara Falls Casino for a few hours, then went to the "Home of the Chicken Wing" the Anchor Bar for dinner. Between 6 of us we pounded down two buckets (100) of chicken wings and two pitchers of beer, none for me as the designated driver. My son-in-law demolished 40 by himself, the young think they'll stay thin forever, hah. Christmas dinner at my sisters' house, turkey with all the trimmings, I made the pecan and pumpkin pies. We had an excellent time. Stayed up too late, midnight, got up too early, 5:30am, for work.
