  3. Awww, that is so mean, #11! I would be so sad and then angry!
    Since I married hubby, we open one Christmas present on Christmas eve, right before bed! I never did this growing up, I think it is fun. So you open all of them Christmas Eve?

  4. The potato candy sounds interesting and I just might try it one of these days! Thanks for putting up the recipe!

    But about Christmas lights on the tree -- I thought everyone put lights on their tree!!!!! Unless, of course, they don't have electricity! When I lived in Alaska, many people lived quite primitively (no electricity) so I could understand no lights on the tree... but I would never think not to!!! Seems like a given!

  6. My hubby used to be like your ex - he was broke whenever it came time to give me a gift. I don't know what happened but I think an alien took control of him a few years ago but he showers me now. So why do I find that just as uncomfortable? Have a great day!

  7. Zoooma...you are welcome. I love lights on the tree.

    Nurse...Divinity is very sweet. I usually eat one piece and give the rest away.

    Jadedhalls...I would be uncomfortable to, I would think he was doing something bad and was trying to make up for it.
