So I made cheesecakes for Christmas dinner for my in-laws. I bought the cream cheese on Christmas Eve and made the cheesecakes the same day. Today my sister-in-law calls me and says my mother-in-law, the only one to eat the cheesecakes, is sick as a dog. So I checked the leftover cream cheese bricks in my fridge. The expiration date (written on an inside flap of the box) was in November. So yeah, I gave my mother-in-law food poisoning for Christmas. I feel horrible. Anyway. . .
Gave:
Mum: Spa stuff and picture frame for grandkid pictures
Dad: PSP (also sharing picture frame for grandkids), drive tires for truck
Siblings (all six of them): Wal-Mart Gift Cards, Midnight Club LA for 360, Bionicles, half a flute (my parents went in on the other half)
Autumn: She got spoiled rotten. We'll leave it at that. This year, at least, she was more interested in the toys than the boxes they came in.
Nephew, Marcus: He's only 2 months old so he got bright, colorful, noisy toys that will never come into my house.
Mom-in-law: Spa stuff and ginormous picture frame
Dad-in-law: Silver tenor sax mouthpiece (to match the silver tenor sax he has), socks
Bros-in-law: Shirts, various memorabilia for their favorite hockey teams
Sisses-in-law: Manicures, gift cards, perfume and a blankie
Pseudo-nieces: Color Wonder markers and books, clothes, Little People stuff
My dad is farting around with my Christmas present to myself: a faster laptop.
Received: A printer, gift cards, new outfit, new slippers, a comfy blankie (that Autumn won't let go of), hot stone massage set, card box, manicure set and a hangover the likes of which no human should ever experience.
