Well, I sure am glad to offer up comedic fodder for all you guys! Hmm, I was thinking the gift would be one of those 200 sq. foot free standing houses (for himself!) in the backyard.

As for the advice, I hear you all. I do. And I know you are all right. I need to implement those strategies KML. Wonka, I will try that experiment when with family. Roist, you are spot on--very perceptive advice. Hi Fighton-we open presents tonight as we'll be out of town for XMAS so the BIG reveal is coming your way! Bttrfly, had a good laugh at the list of possibilities: thanks for those. Sotto, yep. My reaction is mine to own.

Speaking of which, off to the mirror to practice for the big gift reveal. Would a princess dress and a twirl followed by a swoon be over the top? Nah!!!
