Christmas is just behind us and as I was packing up all my Christmas decorations today, I thought I’d share with you the Christmas presents I got over the last couple of weeks. It usually turns out quite the interesting selection of gifts – some of which are rather useful, others …, well, you decide …

Included in the list of things I got were:

• 1 stuffed animal
• 1 plush photo album
• 1 set of coasters (decorated with traditional Chinese art)
• 5 apples
• 2 calendars
• 1 bowl of American, home-made cookies & sweet treats (yum!)
• peanut cake
• 1 box of tea + soap & natural sponge
• 1 pair of mittens + 1 food container + 1 pencil case
