Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!
awww it's from Kat!! Super cute little gingerbread men rings and tiny sparkly ornament magnets PLUS homemade chocolate peppermint bark and caramels! Oh and a peppermint chapstick. YUM! It's all super homey and adorable. Like the best xmas stocking contents ever!
THANK YOU!!!!
Homemade caramels? Nom!!! The whole package sounds warm and comfy.
And our front door is metal so I like to magnet the Christmas cards we receive up there. The little magnets from my package are perfect!!
I want a hippopotomus for Christmas.
Only a hippopotamus will do.
Don't want a doll, no dinky tinker toy
Pretty sure my son is singing that song today at the holiday show. (Side note: I wish they sang a few traditional carols along with the other stuff. I get why it's fallen by the wayside, but I just like them.)
After the Welcome to Night Vale show last night, I met up with Tom Scola at The Bell House, and it turns out that he was also my Secret Santa! So not only did I get a bag of super-cool gifts (a gift card to The Strand, four awesome books [David Byrne's How Music Works, Kate Beaton's Sketchbook, Henry and Glenn Forever and Ever, #3 (HAHAHAHA!), and the Short Stack Grits cookbook], and a make-your-own mustard kit [so that I can have DIY, urban, artisinal, Brooklyn-Brooklyn, mustard-mustard]), I got to have beers with and hang out with Scola, too, so DOUBLE GIFTS!
BEST!
So happymaking.
Okay, I do enjoy playing voyeur to the Secret Santa exchange.
