What I Got for Christmas

When you have young kids you find yourself spending your whole Christmas budget on them and forget that the parents need to buy gifts for each other. Because of that my wife and I decided this year that we would spend a total of $100 between the 2 of us which means we both got $50 to spend on the other. I am not very vocal about the things that I want so it makes it hard for my wife to figure out so this year she decided on the following:

I would always talk about how I wanted to try the Jones’ Cola Holiday pack with the crazy flavors. I was really just curious but my wife decided that it is what I needed for Christmas. She ordered the pack for $12 and had it shipped to the in-laws for a whopping $16! That’s right she paid more for shipping then the product itself. I opened 2 of them and here is my review.

1. Christmas Ham tastes like… ham… but a really bad soapy flavor. I thought they would at least try to make them good… nope they go for authenticity and it was gross.

2. Christmas Tree tastes a LITTLE better but it really tasted like a Christmas Tree smells… almost like drinking pine-sol.

At this point I could not take any more so Egg Nog and Sugar Plum remains sealed.

Next was this lovely desk nameplate with my name on it. It looks really awesome and makes me feel official in my home office :-)

Oh and since my little brother-in-laws got Nintendo DS’ I got their old Gameboy Color. I went to gamestop and picked up Metal Gear Solid and a Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons. I think that was the best gift eva!

Yep that was all I got for Christmas… you?
