I have basically NOT done the "Christmas Thing" for the last few years - it has simply become too commercialized.
But this year Mom sent me her coin collection that she had been working on for years. Not a whole lot of monetary value, but I do appreciate it. I think, being in her seventies and ailing, she is feeling mortality creeping up.
I had also mentioned being interested in 'gluten-free' cooking, as my best friend has Ciliac Disease, and I recognise the benefits of that particular cooking style. His wife has gotten really good at it.
So Mom sent me a Gluten-free Cookbook! Mom's birthday is coming up very soon - I'll do right by her.
