As you can imagine, life has been busy. Christmas is just around the corner and as of today, I'm finally done shopping! Now if only the cleaning fairy would stop by, I'd be quite happy!
Unfortunately, Bossman and I both got sick. Coughing and hacking and sneezing, Oh MY!
Needless to say there hasn't been much action around here. Turns out that hacking in each others faces isn't really all that romantic!
On the upside....
My side of the family has a tradition. The adults can only buy each other gifts from the dollar store. It makes for interesting shopping, to say the least. Some of the fun things I found....
A calender called "Nuns having fun". Yes, the pictures are of nuns, doing fun things. Riding tricycles, swinging on swings....Oh my, it's very funny and I'm sure my brother will LOVE it...LOL
We also found a calendar with weird medical questions like...Why do men have nipples? What causes shrinkage? Things like that. Quite funny, if you ask me.
Last but not least we found a paddle. Yep, you heard me correct, we found a paddle.
It's a ping-pong paddle. AND, it even has a leather cover. You know, to keep it nice. Of course I had to buy it! And if I wasn't feeling sick I would get up and find the camera and take a picture of it. But...just typing that sentence made me tired, so you'll have to wait for the picture.
In any case, you should stop by your .99 cent store. You never really know what you're going to find there!
Also....
From My family to yours...Merry Christmas!
I hope you have the best Christmas ever...Good food, good friends and good family! Really? Isn't that what it's all about?
HUGS!

I think that is a wonderful tradition! I will look forward to seeing the picture of the paddle when you are feeling better and I hope you will be feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou have the right idea about Christmas and I hope your family has a wonderful one!!

ReplyDeleteI love the dollar store, and that is a great idea that your family has, The Holidays become more about family and not about things. I hope you and Bossman are feeling better soon.
Merry Christmas
Take care,
Andrades
Lots of people could benefit from such a tradition, it forces you to be more creative. I think I will head over to mine tomorrow to check if they have any of those ping-pong paddles left.
ReplyDeleteBe Well,
Carly
