I have stuff under the tree...for me. I want to poke and prod. Shake and feel. But..T's gotten smart since last year..when I felt, shook, sniffed my way into guessing every gift. So, he's boobie-trapped the presents. Being a police officer trained in the art of boobie-trapping things which aren't suppose to be touched, he's done such a good job..I can't figure out what he did. "Touch any of them..and I'll know. If you touch any one of them, I'll return them all to the store." Harsh much? . I've looked and stared..and I can't figure out what he's done. It's not the the gifts themselves. I've become an expert at placing them back where they were before I messed with them. He probably did nothing. LOL. But..I can't risk all my presents being returned to the store. Yeah..he would too..the bastard! .

Nutcrackers. I them. I collect them. T's afraid, very afraid. What man wouldn't be in a house full of things that crack nuts. . I buy several each year. I have so many, I have to bring polaroids of those I have so that I don't get one I've already got. I have maybe...200, perhaps a few over. I love one of a kinds. Those are the ones I search for. eBay or specialty stores are a great place to shop. I've spotted the "3 Kings Nutcracker" set. VERY pretty...and VERY expensive. I'll have to wait until after Christmas. .
