Awwwwww .... and YUM!!!!

It's apt to happen. People ask how the holiday was--if you had a good Christmas....

And then they ask what your favorite gift was.
Leastwise those were the popular questions at work yesterday.

I could answer the second question truthfully.

I got singing penguins for the table! I'm a happy bunny.
Yeah, yeah....doesn't take much to make Mel happy.

And I rather liked the stacking spinning tops.....with the trigger thingy that makes 'em go 'round and 'round.
I'm yet to get all 5 stacked and going, but it's great fun to make 'em all whiz around.
And I'm all sortsa excited about the penguins that himself is disallowed to cover up with a plate. He tells me that makes serving dinner an interesting proposition.....but dinner around here is an interesting affair in and of itself!

OH!!!!!! And YUM!! Not only did I get some very cool reindeer which I don't wanna eat (they're chocolate--they won't last into the New Year....LOL....poor things.....)
I got beautiful candles that smell heavenly........which I don't wanna burn--which I will burn cuz that's what they're made for and I want the whole house to smell of cloves and STUFF while I'm downing the reindeer and waving at the singin' penguiny guys on the table.
(thank you thank you thank you!!!! The prezzies will be loved into their extinction--which will be a totally GOOD thing!!--'cept for the waistband....but that's probably a good thing too!)


<-- smells REALLY awesome not burning

<-- has 2 so can burn one and sniff the other

*snickering*

OR....I can burn one WHILE I sniff the other!
WHILE eating chocolate reindeers.....
And assembling penguiny ornaments....
WHILE wearing blinky lights around my neck.
WHILE singing Auld Lang Syne loud and off key!!!!!!

*doing happy dance*

Ohhhhhh...I think I just made plans for New Years!

HA!!!
And he was worried I'd be bored on New Years.

AND I have a stacking spinning top thingie! :-)
But he best not cover up the penguiny guys.......... or else......

Lighting it makes it show up pretty already...I can hardly wait for it to burn a bit to show off the pretties. :-)

Ohhhhhh....it is soooooooo pretty already! :-)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG, you slay me Mel!!!

All your prezzies sound faaabulous!

Hey listen, I got a candle for Christmas this year too. A dear friend of mine sends me one every year. This year she sent me one called 'Moroccan Amber' by Nest, and it smells like amber, patchouli, and eucalyptus. Yummy! I burned it Christmas day and it made my whole apartment smell divine! Perfect for cold winter nights!

Aren't we Libra's so easily entertained?
