I’m posting in the new MMP on the first day? Who am I, and what have I done with **Misnomer**?!? My Christmas shopping is _done_! 🎉 BFF #1 is getting the aforementioned beading tips book, three bars of dairy-free chocolate (🤞), and a personal fire pit that runs on rubbing alcohol. She and the hubby have a regular wood-burning fire pit that they sometimes use in their (large) driveway, but I figure this is something she could use out on their deck on cool evenings. She likely won’t try it until early spring; I hope it works as advertised when the time comes. I’m taking big chances with that and the chocolate! I also ordered holiday cards and stamps, both of which should arrive by next week. I wasn’t sure if I’d be up for sending cards this year, but I am…and, luckily, I can afford to pay for expedited shipping. 😉 > [@Happy, Merry MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-merry-mmp/955127/241): > > there is a small, [locally owned bead and gem](http://arizonagemsandminerals.com/shop/) store in Prescott Valley > [@Happy, Merry MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-merry-mmp/955127/255): > > **oopsie** , if there’s a locally owned bead shop in your bestie’s vicinity, a gift card there would be a delight. I should have mentioned before that I got her a TON of beading/jewelry stuff for her birthday in August! I buy that stuff for her all of the time. I want to do something different for Christmas. 🙂 Tomorrow morning is my first post-op appointment: I’m excited to get the green light for fat-free yogurt and sugar-free pudding! Food that requires plates and forks is only a week away now!! > [@LisslaLissar](#): > > Two of my kidbots are having major, major psychiatric problems and it’s not really lighthearted at all. 💙 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hi-ho-hi-ho-its-off-to-heave-i-go-an-early-mmp/955565)._
