Pelf

We all got cool things for Christmas. Sarcasm Girl got a leather jacket from my aunt ("It's black! It's cool! I'll never take it off! Well, maybe for gym. And in the shower. Maybe."); YG got a Fly Pen computer she has been faunching over endlessly; Spouse got a table radio (this is sexier than it sounds; he's wanted one for years, and this one has incredible sound. And he wanted it); Emily got a huge beef bone which she will be worrying for a week; but I got the single best thing. Spouse gave me a day at a spa. The various cool things this includes can be taken in bits and pieces or all in one glorious self-indulgent go. I feel calmer just thinking about it.

Oh, and Sister-in-law practically had tears in her eyes when she realized that there was no wheat in anything I served for dinner. So that was gratifying. And then everyone, including Mother- and Father-in-law, left, and I got to sleep in my own bed again. Heaven. The house seems strangely calmer today.

So: what was your best present?
