Amber & Christmas Booty Part I

Yes, the holidays are about much more than presents. But also? They are about presents.  And let me tell you, dear reader, I scored big time this year.  I hereby present somehighlights of my Christmas Booty 2011.

Remember when my kitchen fell apart and my kitty teapot (itself a gift!) was shattered?  Thank you, sister dear and her beau, for giving me the gift of tea once more.  Not only can I cook water...

...but I can also brew it into delicious beverages in the style of my favorite animal characters...

...and then, thanks to Auntie Carol, drink tea in comfort in my brand new pajamas apparently made from angel's eyelashes (they are that soft, people).

Wait, what's that clinking on the side of my tea cup?  Oh!  It's just the lovely charm bracelet my sister gave me.

I must remember to write her a thank you note using the fountain pen from professional colleague HM.

But, I'll have to be careful not to get chocolate on the card since I am busy stuffing my mouth with the amazing chocolates from thoughtful Alison.

What a bounteous season indeed.  And, wait!  There's more.  (Tomorrow.)
