“All mine?” asks Ava.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ava<\/a><\/p>\n

“Nope,” sez I.<\/strong> A heaping plenty of it is mine. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

The only problem with all these delights (and more to come, according to my Amazon wish list!) is that I’m not certain whom to thank, since several gifts came with no “from” at all.<\/p>\n

So thank you MSJ, MJR, BL, ST, KK, A, and furrydoc. And you, too, mystery Santas. Care to come through in the comments and let me know who you are?<\/p>\n

More thanks to the Duffys and the rest of the BHM crew and Rich Lucibella, Denny Hansen, and the friendly folks of S.W.A.T<\/i> for not only putting up with me all year, but sending tasty encouragement at year’s end.<\/p>\n

\"Dried<\/a><\/p>\n

An extra thank you to MSJ, who’s not only responsible for that Great Heap O’ Toys in front of Ava, but who restarted my longer-term food storage (which was left behind last year<\/a>) with a dehydrated food sampler and enough dried fruits for both my bug-out-bag and … well, many breakfasts and snacks to come.<\/p>\n

Oh. And there was one more deluxe and delicious package of California dried apricots from a mystery Santa. But they disappeared. I believe the evidence is clear: the dog ate them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Novelty<\/a><\/p>\n

Your clicks on my Amazon links also brought much bounty. Purchases large and small added up to commissions of more than $200 in the weeks before Christmas. That’s amazing. Typical monthly commissions range from less than $10 to $50 or so in a really great month. So extra thanks to all who used those links!<\/p>\n

People bought items many and varied — including some pretty cool stuff. But I have to say this was the most interesting<\/a>. Seriously. Someone bought that.<\/p>\n

I’d love to see the look on the recipient’s face when he or she opens what Santa left under the tree.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Blessed Slightly-Post-Solstice, and whatever the heck you wish at Kwanzaa to you all!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
