Yule Haul

Well, I remain quite shocked about the amount of gifts receieved this year.
My parent shad warned us not to go overboard on spending this year, and what does my mother go and do...?
The following is the full list of everything gained by both Ninfa and myself, and includes our gifts to each other. You can probably guess whose is whose...
Admittedly we did go overboard on each other perhaps, mostly as this is the last year we will have the chance to spoil each other.

Plus the usual unsubtle humour about physical cleanliness from my sister.

A lot of my gifts received were a very pleasant surprise, as they were not from any list I'd made. Ninfa had remembered statements from me during the year and had put thought into what she bought me.
That to me is better than any gift. A little thought to try and make things special rather than the sterilised Christmas that we seem to be getting to in the UK these days...
