Do you know how easy it is when you find a gift, to pull the tape up, slide the box out of the wrapping paper, open the box and see what's inside and put it all back? Only thing left to do is work on your "surprise" face. Did that for years. Love all the remembering. 
My niece not only opened/peeked/rewrapped all of her presents every year...........but the nosy lil schitt did the same thing with EVERYONE's presents, then wanted to tell em all what they got. lol At 40 something now, she's still just as nosy, and still a very good giftwrapper! hehehe
Neat thread Classy.
Very pretty star and neat story tinyspark!
Well, we've got stories, and pic, so looks like we need a recipe! Every year I used to make my chocolate covered cherry fudge...cuz really, is there any better combo than that?
The recipe is the stoopit simple microwave one, I use
1-1/2 bags guittard milk chocolate chips
Can of sweetened condensed milk
Nuke, stir, nuke, stir til smooth
splash of vanilla
Then start smashin the cherries in. (easier than chopping plus all the juice goes into the chocolate). I just smash em between my fingers, usually in half.
Add some more cherry juice, cuz ya can't have too much
Put in pan, refrigerate. This part is a lil senseless, cuz this always has so much cherry juice in it, that it doesn't set up. Luckily for me, I have no issues eating fudge with a spoon (or straw if need be) lol
I learned not to give it to folks at church til AFTER the service though.......several simply couldn't wait and ate it all through the service, which was totally distracting to mama while she was preachin, cuz she couldn't have any yet. lol
