Holly: What are you getting Mom for Christmas?
Alix: I made her a necklace in art class.
Holly: WOW. Cool beads, Alix!
Holly: Makes the can opener I bought seem kind of lame.
Alix: Nothing says "I love you, Mom" like a common kitchen appliance.

Even I’m getting my stepmother something similar to Holly’s. It was even on her list.

I got my Grandma one of these things to easily open screw top jars. She has been complaining of arthritis in her hands recently.

At least the girls are thinking about something other than Uncle Wally’s gift to Aunt Joan.

It must close to Christmas—Holly is talking nicely to Alix and actually complimenting her.

I’d love to have a traditional can opener. It would replace the pain-in-the-butt “ergonomic” can opener I have now.

There’s a chance my 3 year old grandson will get to pick out his present to grandma himself this year – I can’t wait to see it!

hubby is getting kitchen appliances this year. He loves those waffle griddles that hotel’s use for their breakfasts. Have to keep telling him he can’t take it with him :o)

There is nothing wrong with practical gifts as long as that’s what the person wants. I would rather get something that I need and will use over something that will just sit in a closet.

Now if it was a left handed can opener it would be perfect for a southpaw like me!
