Here's everything: Three 4-packs of Coffee Crisp candy, 1 pack of Dare Juicee Sour Wigglers (for TC), one Chocolate Ginger bar and aa small box of chocolates from the Manitoulin Chocolate Factory. Those Coffee Crisps are addicting, I tell you. When we were there this summer, I bought several of those 4-packs and they went super fast!
She also sent us shirts from the Manitoulin Island Fire Department. When we visited C and her family, we gave her husband (who is not only a cattle farmer but also a school bus driver AND a first responder) a Chula Vista Fire Department t-shirt. It was so nice of her to return the favor.

Here's some of the goodies left in our stockings by "Santa"...Note the purple eyeliner he gave me and the screwdriver for Bert. Thank you Walgreens.
A huge fucking thanks to Superman for giving Bert the suggestion to get me this book. Knowing my voracious appetite for anything pop culture relating to the 80's, Superman thought this would be something I would enjoy and if you're reading this Supe, "You were riiiiiight....you were riiiiiight!" (must be whispered in a raspy voice as taken from the scene in "Return of the Jedi" when Darth Vader is unmasked and agreeing with Luke Skywalker's statement, "I see the good in you"). What a convoluted explanation but for Star Wars geeks, they'll get it.
And by the way, this is now my new favorite book. I'm still reading it in bits and pieces, trying not to rush each chapter.
TC and I gave Bert this t-shirt. He's excited about the new Thor movie coming out. Australian actor Chris Hemsworth will play Thor. I still think that Alexander Skarsgard should have played Thor. He's 6'4" and Swedish (well, that counts as being Scandinavian in my book) and would rock that horned hat and wield Mjolnir quite well! Plus he looks a hell of a lot better than Hemsworth!
TC got two Beatles shirts. She really loves the one with the Union Jack with the superimposed images of the "Hard Day's Night" album cover. MFH gave TC the Paul Frank shirt; it's a long sleeve tee with black sleeves. I wish they had one in an adult womens size.
Bert got me a replacement Calyx by Prescriptives. Since late Fall 2009, Prescriptives discontinued this fragrance. I'd been wearing this since college (1990's and on) and must crushed when I couldn't find it at Nordstrom's last Christmas. A quick check on the internet revealed that it could still be ordered through some discount sites. It's a fresh and clean fragrance that I really love (smells kinda fruity too). This should last me about a year, so yay!
Bert likes PB so he really liked this stocking stuffer. Ha ha, PB Ballz.
The ever so awesome Darlene from My Burning Kitchen was kind enough to send me a couple of gifts, which were incidentally food related. When I opened the package, TC was so excited to try these bacon flavored toothpicks! I still haven't tried them yet!
She also sent me this cute hot dog coin purse! So fkg cool! Ha ha, can't wait to use this and whip it out when I'm in the stores. Wait, let me get some change now!
Those were just a few highlights of some of the gifts we gave and received. Although the next photo was NOT a Christmas gift, I threw it in here because several of the gifts were "food related". After opening our gifts Xmas morning, we were on our way to my mom's for lunch. Bert wanted to wear the Spam shirt I got him last year ($7.00 Tarjay my friends).
Hope you all had a great 2010 and here's to the upcoming New Year!!!!
