I expected Aliantha to have listed things like sunscreen, bug dope, frozen margaritas, flip flops, etc.

The kids are giving little bags of their favorite granola to all their teachers this year. We already go through quite a lot of it ourselves, so I started doubling production way in advance so I wouldn't be killed in the first week in December. So far I have 6 of 13 bags ready and waiting.
Meanwhile I'm still looking for gift inspiration for the kids. I have a couple ideas, but I always have to come up with far more than I need so I can hand good ideas over to the various relatives who will otherwise buy them crap they will hate. I only have to come up with one gift for everyone else on my list, so they don't get to take up mental space for a few more weeks. |

That doesn't look like the Christmas Cactus I'm familiar with.

"I know too much about cacti to be familiar with them. "

I didn't think there were any of us left. Or maybe it's a Scots thing?
You're tempting me ... I may just throw caution to the wind and make fruitcake after all!

We used to make fruitcake with all dried fruits, none of the candied stuff, lots of nuts and a good rum soak. A lot of people would hear fruitcake and run away screaming, but I just figured more for me.
