Gift Exchange Ideas They Will Love!

Gift Exchange Ideas

There were some great gift exchange ideas.

I was the most-stolen-from guest at the Dirty Santa Gift Swap.

My first present was a chocolate assortment.

They were high-quality chocolates.

So yeah, I got robbed right away.

My next gift was a soap assortment.

It was high-quality soaps.

I got robbed again.

The next package was an absolute winner.

A People of Walmart coloring book.

Everyone was passing it around, laughing hysterically.

I was already working out in my mind who I would color which picture for.

And I was already composing the inscriptions that I would add.

But would you believe it – I got robbed yet again.

I was quite disappointed.

This is exactly why the game is called Dirty Santa.

However, in the end, I received the Best Gift Ever, so it’s all OK.

What did I get?

A waffle blanket.

Yes, a waffle blanket.

A blanket patterned like a waffle.

What a great gift exchange idea.

I had never even thought of such a thing.

I’ve thought of waffles for breakfast.

Or dessert.

Or even for dinner.

I have never thought of waffles as a blanket.

It’s one of those things that you never knew was missing from your life.

However, once you’ve had a taste of it, you wonder how you ever got along before.

Who doesn’t love waffles?

Who doesn’t love blankets?

Wouldn’t everyone want to be wrapped in a warm and fluffy waffle on a cold winter night?

What will they think of next – a bacon blanket?

OMG

I already know what I want next year.

My Inner Clean Freak Freaks Out On This Day

Clean Freak

Clean Freak

The holidays conflict with my inner clean freak.

It’s not just one day, it’s the whole season.

It starts with Thanksgiving.

The weather is still warm and pleasant.

There are beautiful fall leaves on the trees.

Anticipation is in the air.

All month there are parties.

Decorations.

Delicious food.

And gifts.

Then the weather starts to get colder.

The leaves drop from the trees.

And the anticipation keeps building.

It’s such a lovely time of year.

Until December 26.

Like clockwork, I wake up feeling Grinchy.

The house is a wreck.

I’ve been eating nothing but junk for an entire month.

And I’m exhausted.

My inner clean freak wants to pick up the house immediately.

What was festive yesterday is aggravating clutter today.

I am done with the holidays.

Would I be a Debbie Downer  if I put away the holiday stuff today?

Yeah, probably.

I’ll leave it all up for another day or so.

But my entire house will be picked up, swept, dusted, and scrubbed to start the new year.

It was fun, but now I’m done.

The holidays are over.

Right on schedule, my inner clean freak is screaming for mercy.
