Nah. Christmas was a lot more, certainly.
Amongst other things...
My mother bought five bottles of detergent - one liter in each! - to throw me back into my young years (nope, not me in the pic, just an ad)!
A german phenomenon. Pril-Blumen, Pril-Flowers. I loooooved them! For some time in the mid-70´s they were stickers, glued on every "Pril"- detergent. My Grandma bought this brand and my Mom said I got all flippy about them.
Yeps. My Mom doesn´t know I also own a cheap watch with that pattern, and a T-Shirt. Bought a year ago when the revivial came. I still do so love those flowers of the happy 70´s!
This is what I got for Christmas from my Mom:
And some money to make the move to the new apartment less harder, moneywise.
Pril (german) - happy 70´s!
(I gave the detergent to my brother´s girlfriend - and YIPS!!! just as a joke (I have five bottles... awww, another story! ;-)...)
Certainly. Not all of us are lucky and happy receivers of cool christmas-gifts.
Java gives us a hint here.
Am I happy for having had a very Merry Christmas with my Mom, Bro, a goose (pigs and... aw, well, you know [-Borecole was a yummy part of it as well!]) - a happy Family Time!
Addendum: We saw a reportage today, showing great achievements the organisation People for people (german) has made. I certainly know the responsible man, Karl-Heinz Boehm, for ages. I never knew how successful he is. I finally took their motto, spend more than just sympathy and gave them some of my Christmas-Money. If I save only one girl from circumcision, it is more than a life to save, literally (Ingo also joined in, so, hopefully we helped at least a wee-bit).

It's horrible what some countries put their young girls through. SO sad, but your gift was surely appreciated.
