People who lack the gift-wrapping gene often have the hard-cooked-egg-UNwrapping gene. (See me for details.)

Crimmiss brunch awaiting Hardi (working) is P-Vine's Egg Gravy (with jalapenos and cheese) in home-made chicken stock, over sliced oniony home fries. With smoked oysters on cream cheese on crackers. And crushed pineapple supplemented by the unknown cookies he usually brings home.
Later there is a spiral ham to do, together, for sammiches/freezer/a dinner, plus Filet Mignon Medallions and Bruschetta dipped in Gorgonzola Fondue and/or Smoked Gouda Fondue pots. Not sure which one we'll do/eat tonight and which one will be for tomorrow-- that's all to be decided ad started after the Crimmiss Nap. But either, with green salad and perhaps a few wasabi-deviled and porn-sauce-deviled eggs (almost-red, and green). And more fruit.
Crimmiss unwrapping this year will take about 4 minutes for the pair of us, and generate about a page's worth of paper to discard, but cluttering the LR are all the non-crimmiss blessings received this week from afar. The Wise Men got busy early this year.
Movies and hockey all set on the DVR for a lazy later-afternoon while the cooking occurs. And wonder of wonders-- I am actually caught up on laundry and the worst of the kitchen cleanup!!! The tree is even plugged in!
