This is my family, folks.

I got the Christmas Box from the California aunt today. In it we had:

• Lavender and Chamomile hand lotion
  
• cinnamon tea
  
• milk and honey hand lotion that'll give you bees
  
• coffee in some sort of purple explosive bag (there was coffee all over everything)
  
• a gardenia candle
  
• chocolate Channukah gelt
  
• chocolate rocks all pretty painted up
  
• some kind of pretty socks in black gray and red
  
• a purple plastic kaleidoscope
  
• chocolate covered orange flavored marzipan sticks
  
• a Christmas ornament like you send with your Channukah gelt
  
• natural citrus gum drops
  
• licorice drops
  
• orange drops
  
• pomegranate hard candies
  
• eucalyptus bath salts
  
• a fairly heavy orange wood? heart with a stylized elephant painted on it
  
• a pretty scarf
  
• a pretty recycled plastic bag with bees on (see, it did give us bees!)
  
• blackberry sage bubblebath
  
• and some sort of weird acorn thing that is either white chocolate or soap. It smells like soap.
  

This is an exactly typical package of the type sent by my family on holidays and birthdays. A cacophony of scents and flavors and colors and textures, all gathered up with no apparent pattern to them. Occasionally money will be involved, depending on the relative, but mostly, this is what we give each other for Christmas.

My family, ladies and gentlemen. Gotta love 'em.
