I got a great gift for Christmas. It was from my husband. And I tried hard not to seek out any hidden messages in the gift and to just be thankful. I guess the message wasn’t too hidden anyway. Nope, not at all. Here it is 🙂 Yep. So I thanked him graciously (and meant it. ) And I have used it and love it and am truly thankful for him getting something I probably wouldn’t have gotten myself.
