I have recollections of a certain year that my aunt got several pieces of
kitchen appliances made of cardboard that needed to be put together. These
folks were late nighters and hubby and I went to their house after Midnight
Mass. There these 2, aunt and uncle, sat at dining table--with the FIRST
of about 5 of these things. Fortunately my hubby was a mechanic and VERY
good at reading directions. I think he got 3 of these things put together
and working before we left about 4AM. Had to go back Christmas afternoon
and put the others together. I learned NEVER buy something that needs to
be put together, and if you do DON'T WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!!
We always got Dad boxers and white handkerchiefs. He still has a large
supply of new white handkerchiefs. This year I got him slippers WITHOUT
those lacings that never stay tied. Ones with lacing did a quick
disappearing act and he never knew the difference. See what getting to be
88 does to you.
Happy New Year One and All. Ruth

Ps By the way I got boxers and a tie .
