Sandwalker Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 One year I gave my grandfather a sweater, and he said, "It's very nice, but I already have a sweater." :D 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I made spaghetti with a creamy tomato sauce in the dark for dinner. There are two useless lights in the kitchen - microwave and above the sink. I tried to pretend I was working by candlelight. I had to use a flashlight to see the knobs on the stove. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember doing that on purpose. :( Also, hi Susan! I wonder what you were thinking. I had a year of trying to really get into materialism and making it for myself. I was pretty dang successful if I do say so myself. It has been mind-blowing to see how much easier it is to make money than to save the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a glare from the overhead light that makes the pictures not as good as it could be. Edited to say that the lighter stuff in the middle of the figures is a glow in the dark resin.

Junie Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Our advent calendar is just a wooden Christmas tree decoration with pegs to hang wooden ornaments on. The number on the tree right now is 6. The kids usually fight over who gets to change the numbers. We went to Pennsylvania for a few days last week, opened a bunch of presents, and apparently the calendar was forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I also gifted us a subscription to the Yum Yum box someone posted about on Chat a few weeks ago: http://www.universalyums.com And DW said that she thought it was a great idea. :) I'm so glad, because I was worried she might think it's a stupid idea. The first of that one won't get here until January either. (btw, I did not actually subscribe to the escape crate, because I wanted to try it out with the family first, and it's plenty expensive - at least the Yum Yum's can be part of the grocery budget) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should've prefaced it with Edpo. We have all sorts of warnings these days, that people are kind of random about using. So, it could've gotten: Edpo! Avert your eyes! Reported! Or, nothing at all. Or just some of the warning. Plus, it's a game, it's not educational.
