Thinking Of Christmas

 Every year around this time start thinking seriously about what to get family members for Christmas. I mean, there is less than four months left before the big day.  My kids are easy, because they supply lists of exactly what they expect (or hope to see) under the tree from Santa.  The adults in my life are a little harder to buy for, because at this point, they have everything they need, and most of the things they want.  I always have the hardest time figuring out what to get my dad.  I mean, the guy can only get shirts from me for so many years.

I saw these Gift Hampers online, and thought they would make the perfect gifts for all the "hard to buy for" people on my list.  A lot of the hampers have meat and fish in them, but as I was looking through the Christmas Hampers I found one full of cake.  Yes, they have the most delicious looking petit fours.  Don't they look yummy?

When we had cable, I used to watch a lot of food network, and a lot of the chefs would make these tiny little cakes.  I have always wanted to try them, and I figure if I give these as a gift, the recipient would have to share.  Right?

The website actually had a nice selection of Christmas Food Hampers.  There was one that had a whole little pig in it, and I thought about getting it for my mom, just to see her expression when she opened the box and a dead pig was looking up at her.  I mean, how would you react if you opened a Christmas gift and saw this looking up at you?

I  bet you could thing of a few people who would find that funny.  I know I would. My mom may not find it funny, but I am sure those of us watching her open it would die laughing.
