It's Better to Give

The sun is rising over the Susquehanna River here in central Pennsylvania.  I am sipping coffee while my sweet Basset Hound snores loudly at my feet.  Perhaps that is telling of life here lately but Christmas should shake things up.

The bf is in Boston working and I am preparing for the arrival of his family for Christmas.  They are a dysfunctional bunch which makes me feel right at home.  The cast includes a religious mother who subtly and successfully plays her adult sons against each other, an aloof divorced brother who has married a succubus, a niece and nephew in their early 20s who are still living at home, an ex sister-in-law who is doing her best to keep it all together and a partridge in a pear tree.

This morning I am shopping online for gifts.  What does one give people you hardly know and who have everything?  I even asked them directly and they are suggesting restaurant gift cards.  Really?!?!  Is a gift card to Olive Garden the best we can do?  Oh no, I can do better than endless bread sticks.

I'm thinking a bit of booze and booze accessories should grease the wheels perfectly.

Something for everyone at Oddity Mall
