Chocolate Spread & Hazelnut drops
Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares.....

I have a fridge full of cookie tins....

And I eat cookies about 3 times a year....hehehehehehe

We were both wrapping at the same time! He was in the spare room wrapping my presents and I was in our room wrapping his! We had NIN on full blast and occationally shouted "I love youuuu!" between the walls! :oops:

We're both rather excited :oops:

ok, now that's just too much.....
hahahahaha.
just kidding....*sighs*...young love!


hubby and i are not doing gifts this year for each other. we give/get enough during the year, no need for us to have more 'stuff'....so sure, while there will be no wrapping for each other, hopefully we will be unwrapping each other sometime on christmas.

once thanksgiving passes....i will get my full-on christmas spirit. staycation begins thursday - wooohooo! - we'll do our shopping for the few gifts we buy probably monday, do some festive activities all week....and most importantly, GET OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!!! love, love, love the christmas tree! 8-)

You shouted "I love youuuuu" while wrapping gifts????

Wait 10 years....

You will be shouting...

Where the fuck is the tape???
Can you get the fucking cat off the damn wrapping paper???
Where did all the fucking bows I bought go???
Where are the fucking name tags???
I dont give a fuck if the bow doesnt match the wrapping paper, just put the damn bow on and lets move on to the next one.
Whose sweater did i just wrap? I dont want to unfucking wrap it to find out!!!!
I cant fucking believe you only bought one roll of fucking tape!!!!

The "Christmas Tree Debacle" is my FAVORITE Holiday tradition.......

The fact that Kathy and I havent beaten the shit out of each other, over the years, still surprises me....heheheheheheheheh

we actually even have the spats over the tree, the setup, straightening it in the stand, the "just right" side to face forwards, hubby bringing up the 20 boxes of xmas decor from the basement and putting on the lights...down to a science. it's like...yada yada yada....we both know like shorthand, exactly what sets the other off and we just gloss it over, roll with it...tho sure, go theru the motions of cursing each other out over it. and then...when it's all done.....pizza and wine by christmas tree lights.....
