[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had to work crazy hours this last quarter, while managing two small ones and parents in poor health.  I have a very helpful husband, so that makes it easier.  He *helpfully* suggested I go the online route when I was panicking about everything being closed when I am able to shop.

Soooo. . .armed with a bottle of chamgagne (office gift), and after the kids went to bed, I cracked my knuckles, got my list, and sat down to do it.

Received the last package today.  You totally lucked out if you were on the top of my list.  You will receive a well-thought out gift that you will probably like. And my brother, enjoy that Kindle Fire you won't shut up about. Even loaded it with stuff you like.

If you were at the end of the list, hope you like the outrageous scarves handmade by underprivileged children in East Asia (or more likely, some crafty, unscrupulous woman cranking out garments with authentic snags.)  Funny that they arrived via a home address in New Jersey.  And I am sure that recipe book for gourmet marshmellows will come in real handy.  You can use the golf santa I thoughtfully bought your husband as a bookend.

I am too ashamed to mention a few other *gifts.* They will go unmentioned.

Feel like an ass.  [b]Thinking about framing pictures I have of friends and loved ones I have taken at parties and events.  They haven't seen them (not a big facebooker), so this might be fun.[/b]  I could use the scarves as ribbons or wrap.  No idea what to do with the golf santa.

Can you smell my desperation?  Stay away from the picture frame aisle at any CVS in the DC area.  Those suckers are mine.

Happy Holidays people.

This was funny.  And the bolded in brilliant.  I didn't even think about doing this.  [/quote]
