My husband has promised to make me some non-E rated chocolate truffles for Christmas this year. I wish I could tell you what they are, but your blog is E rated.

I have a really yummy recipe for hot chocolate that has just a slight hint of chilli in it. So good. Will have to see if I can find it.

Yes, I love the silly presents too. When my friends and I were all students, we used to do a 'budget Christmas' where we had to buy something ridiculously cheap for each other. They almost always ended up silly or rude. Was hilarious. This year, my husband bought a stuffed toy (or more like a cushion) which looks like the poop emoji, for our 15 year old son.

Can't wait for him to open that one!

I think the "open one present every half hour" is a great idea! I've never done it before but it sounds fantastic on paper!

Hope it works out well for your family.

I like your list of 4 things; mine is just slightly different.

Something they want

Something they need

Something practical (like a toothbrush!)

Something fun/silly (the laughs you get from these are the real presents, I think!)

I always go overboard for Christmas. I spend far too much and buy far too many presents. But... I can't help it. Every year I tell myself not to go overboard this year, and every year I do. I just love Christmas, I love shopping, I love seeing their faces when they open presents... I just love the whole thing.

This year we're trying something new - the kids can only open one present every half hour. It's to make the fun last longer. It was an idea from a friend, so we're trying it out this year and will see how it goes.

There's a lady on FB who has brought her children 92 presents EACH (she has 3 kids) which anyone would say is too much, but on the other hand, her kids get NOTHING throughout the year and have to wait until Christmas for all their wants/needs, so maybe that's fair? Anyway, for most of us working class citizens, there is no such thing as too much (unless you go into debt to buy them and that's a whole other story) so I say enjoy!

Would love to see how those presents turn out!

I'm sure the Grandparents would love them!

Amazing! I'd love that! Sounds infinitely better than the pack of Swiss Miss I generally use.

Mmmmm... it would be a perfect day for it today too! Thanks for the recipe, Stevie!

Ooh, I love Jamie Oliver's recipes!!

I was just thinking of making my own stash of hot chocolate this year so it's nice to see your take on this yummy recipe! Keep them coming -- you're halfway through your blogging challenge already!
