Chocolate wrap colored no 1st week December the plate that holds Santa's cookie crumbs after he left. Christmas party in my basement with all aunts, uncles, grandparents and my brother playing the violin and me on trumpet in the stairwell because we were too shy to perform in front of everybody. School bus and a bit of detective work. Both. Ones from Santa get opened in the AM. With those sentimental individual ornaments that have some sort of memory attached to it. Love it Yes, sort of. No. Family together. No such dessert. Watching wifie prepare the Italian feast and hordouvers with her mother and aunt. Angel Giving I'm dreaming of a white Christmas cool small gadgets
