They are just to the left of his other ornament which she knitted for him with his name on it. Thank you so very much, limey.

So glad they arrived! I was just now grousing that I sent four gifts to the States and none had got there. You and Dan are an inspiration to me for how to cope with the unexpected, and learn from the most difficult of circumstances. I wish you, Classic, and your family all the very best in 2014. X

I love how the hooks are incorporated into the ornaments. Very cool!

Those sea glass ornaments are beautiful!

The 'win' gifts at our house this year were a reading glasses holder that looks like an Easter Island statue (my oldest son bought it for my husband, who constantly misplaces his glasses) and a clear bottle with resealable top that's easy to drink from, for my husband to put his chocolate soy milk in. Why was this a win? My husband pours his soy milk into a clean, opaque 2-qt milk jug because he likes to drink out of the jug (yes, he's the only one that drinks it). On Christmas Eve as we were mashing potatoes, one of my sons grabbed a milk jug out of the fridge and poured a good swat into the potato pot - only to see chocolate soy milk soak the potatoes. My daughter went straight out to Walmart and bought the clear jug.

Size:  19.0 KB my other Cellar Christmas booty! Thanks Dana, Sundae and Ali! I made rum balls myself this year and we ate them all (there were hundred!) before I could photo them, but they turned out just like yours, Ali!

One of the radio stations in Nashville years ago had an on-air character named Black Elvis (who was a black, Elvis-impersonator). The dj asked him "Black Elvis, what did you give Black Priscilla for Christmas?" To which Black Elvis replied (in a very deep, very stereotypically 'black' voice) "What'd I give her? I give her root. That's what I give her."

I'll remember that forever, I almost drove off the road laughing.

Root = cock, FYI

This Christmas I received a wonderful box of home-made comestibles from Aliantha.
When Mum went to Australia, she discovered dark chocolate covered dates, and adored them. I asked Ali whether she could track some down and send them to me - to be reimbursed of course.

Instead, Ali made some.
And sent them with rum-balls, Christmas tree biscuits, two types of cookies (I think) and I might even be missing something off.

The cookies went pretty much as soon as the gift box was opened.
I seem to remember one kind being very much chocolate based, but the ones I had were minty.
I didn't even get a sniff after that, as Mum and Dad hoovered them up.
Not literally.

Mum was very impressed by the dates, she still suspects you bought them because they looked so professional.
Not so much the rum balls; she took against the coconut. But made me laugh when she reported back to me about sitting there late at night trying to ease the coconut off the outside, only to find it ran all the way through. The idea of her hunched over when the rest of the house was sleeping, scraping off the coating, is either really funny or really sad.

I'm going with funny.
Anyway her loss is our gain; Limey and I scoffed the lot. Very quickly. They were ever so good - really rummy.
The dates lasted slightly longer, as did the biscuits. But only by a matter of hours.
The air on Arran seemed to make them dissolve. Or at least that's the official story.

Om nom nom nom.
Nom nom nom.
Nom nom.
Nom.

Thanks hon.

Glad it all went over well. I really did make the dates. Well, bought them naked then choc coated them. It was easy.

I think there was some chocolate fudge in there too.
