No, I loved the gift you sent Case.
The nutcracker ornament is actually sitting on my piano still. I didn't bother putting it away with the other christmas decorations. I left it out to remember you by...and I use the cake server all the time, and get lots of comment about it.
My bad experience was definitely nothing to do with the gift or my gifter.
Anyone that draws Case is a lucky duck.
I will decline SS this year though.
