We got a Christmas present today - somebody just knocked on the door and when Danielle opened it there was a box. It's from all the fire department spouses, which is pretty cool.
It's all useful stuff, not fun stuff, and all in bulk. We got three packages of toothpaste, tampons, fancy soaps, band-aids, new toothbrushes, ponytail holders, a blowdryer, three Nalgene bottles, huge bottles of fancy shampoo and conditioner, and three laundry bags.
We made a deal a long time ago that if we get something for all three of us we take turns writing the thank you and then all of us sign it. This time it's Alex's turn. One of her sentences was "Thank you so much for the interesting and useful Christmas presents..." which struck me as really funny.
To be honest I was kind of bummed when we were looking at it - it's all serious presents, you know? But when I was pulling the links to write this, I got more happy about what we got - it actually is kind of cool even if it's serious stuff also. Plus they have us over for dinner and buy us school supplies and everything - this was a total extra and it's nice to be thought of. Plus now I will stop putting tape over my cuts and will start using bandaids.
