Brenda, I'm so glad you and Darby enjoyed your gifts! I had a lot of fun putting the package together. Perkins, I'm relieved to hear your package got to you.

Also awesome - the delicious sweet/salty corn puffy stuff I am currently stuffing my face with. I didn't know what it was but my sister made grabby hands as soon as it came out of the wrapping.

That stuff (I can't remember what the place calls it) is caramel-coated crack. I don't dare keep it around.

There's a chance I sat down in my front room and ate large amounts of it the second I got home.

Just a chance though.

I'm at the stage where I feel like eating all the junk in my house as quickly as possible is actually the better call.

Amy, I actually have not tried them yet (there was waaay too much food and too many people at the house today), but I will tomorrow and report back.

I've gotten a sweet christmas card from my secret santa sent sneakily via Vermont. Fun!

Dear Secret Santa,

Eeee! Thank you so much! A zombie parts box! A zombie doll! Chocolates! Fancy tissues! White chocolate violet drinking chocolate mix! And a lovely framed drawing of the photo of Neil Gaiman and me! They are all wonderful, and make me very, very happy. Thank you again, mysterious Santa in WI.

Tom, that's so lovely. t /allergies

Polgara, your packaged arrived last night. Thank you for the lovely ornament and the monkey! (Not a real monkey, people.) I tormented the cats with the monkey last night. We love it!

I still have to send my Secret Santa gift. It's been boxed and ready but I don't have the recipients' address. Any with ideas on how to solve this one without outting who it is?

Tom's photo gave me allergies. ::sniff::
