Oh, and in case you wondered what became of the incense poo (because I'm sure you were all just dying to know):



The little box on the left is what Dave made to put them in. Our printer decided to run out of yellow on the last box. RAGE.

I packaged them in plain brown boxes with red and green rafia bows.



Aren't they cute? ♥ Dave's sisters seemed to be impressed. I'm pleased with my little X-mas project. (Though not with my printer. :E)



Our tree! My god, the presents look ridiculous, it looks like we're rich or something. (And it looks like a tissue factory had a catastrophic explosion there in the back.) Man, my whole theory of "buy lots of inexpensive things because people have more fun opening more presents"? DOWNSIDE! The wrapping supplies end up costing almost as much as the presents! Not to mention wrapping that many things was exhausting.

On the other hand, I am awesome at finding deals. I got some fairly nice things for everyone and I think the only person I spent more than 15 bucks on was my mom. (Minus candy-making and wrapping supplies, of course.) I got a 20 dollar scone mix for literally the cost of sales tax! (Although I somehow still felt like I was getting ripped off, because seriously? 20 dollars? For a little bag of scone mix? SERIOUSLY? It called itself "extra-special". All I can say is, you damn well better be "extra-special".)

I AM SO EXHAUSTED. Next year: ALL ONLINE SHOPPING. I swear to God.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having/has had a nice holiday season!
