And I was showered with some really nice jewellery, scrapbooking paraphernalia and clothes from the rest of the family members.
The best gift I received on Christmas morning was something a little more special, however. I wish I had a picture of it, but I threw it in the garbage after I peed all over it. It looked a little something like this:
