As most of you know, there has been a lot of to and fro-ing of Gifts due to the Sort-of-Secret Gift Exchange that I helped to coordinate. You can check out many of the wonderful gifts that have already reached their destinations at this Thread:

Raqy was matched with another Participant in the Gift Exchange BUT she also sent me--AKA: Elf #2--a very nice Christmas Surprise!!!! ;D
That's a box of chocolates (Santa must have told her how much I LOVE chocolates! ;D) and some beautiful opals.
Here's a closer look at the opals...
They are BEAUTIFUL! (I'm going to add some glycerin to the ones in the bottle which Raquel explained will enhance their beauty.)
Raquel also sent another very special gift--a nice big fat "cigar"! When I wrote to thank her for it, we shared a laugh, because as I explained neither Bob nor I smoke! Raquel wrote back that Bob and I should share the "cigar"--one "puff" for me, one "puff" for Bob, etc.
The morning after Raquel's gift arrived I went to take everything outside so I could get some nice photos in the bright sunshine. I looked every where but I couldn't find that gorgeous, big, fat chocolate cigar anywhere! And Lady BeaBea was suspiciously licking her chops!
Now every one knows you're NEVER supposed to give dogs chocolate so I was worried about what would happen to my precious Bea. I called my hubby just on the chance that he had put that wonderful cigar some place out of reach of Bea so it and she would be safe.
Bob began to chuckle...the kind of chuckle one hears when someone (namely my hubby) has been bad...very, VERY BAD!!!
Bob knew where that gloriously wonderful chocolate cigar was and I needn't worry about Bea.
Here's what I found in the wastebasket next to Bob's desk in our computer room:
That's all that's left of that wonderful cigar!...the foil wrappings.
Thanks, Raquel, for such a wonderful surprise gift. Bob especially enjoyed the cigar!!!! ;D I won't be opening the box of chocolates until Christmas Day...I might share them with Bob.

Guess who is getting a sock full of coal in our house?!?!?
