Holiday Gifts

Always hard for me to know whether to give Hanukkah gifts, but this blogger likes getting them!

My in-laws got me a bag full of Hanukkah gifts! The ironic thing is that I'm not even celebrating Hanukkah this year, but we didn't tell them that. I think this is the first year in...oh, just about forever...that I haven't lit candles for eight nights. I do miss it, but I've been so distracted lately that I just didn't drag the menorah out in time. I am hoping to at least make some latkes from a mix - okay,

Anyway, though, her parents did get me some nice little presents. They got me a bunch of Hello Kitty-branded food, including chocolate dip biscuits, strawberry dip biscuits, Lips candy, and Dream Cakes (which look kind of like moon pies). They also gave me a mezuzah (I guess they didn't notice we already have one at our front door), some fruit-shaped marzipan treats, a whole box of fine marzipan with Jamaican rum, and a big bag of really cool gelt. The wrappers are sparkly, hologrammy, or whatever it is that makes that cool rainbow effect. It's so cool I don't want to eat them! I've never seen gelt wrappers like that before.
