It was a dark and stormy afternoon when the doorbell rang several times frantically. When I get to the door, no one is there, but a FedEx van is driving off down the road. The deliverer put the package in a sheltered place so it wouldn't get wet. After a few minutes dedicated to opening the package, I am happily surprised with a sparkle & shine bath collection (I love shiny things,) Nightmare Before Christmas socks, and a cat ears headband.

Thank you, Santa! We're having brunch this weekend with spousal unit's brother and our sister-in-law, and I shall show up all shiny and wearing Nightmare socks and the cat ears headband. (All 4 of us love cats.) (Sometimes you need a conversation starter. This will be a fun brunch!)
