I wanted to post this a lot earlier but I'd never have thought that it would take the mail until TODAY to deliver the last of my presents! O_O So here it is now!! :D

Last year's Christmas was definitely one of the best EVER. It would have been the best Christmas of my life if I didn't have to celebrate it without my dad, who couldn't join the

"the gift that got the most attention from my family: A figure of Olentzero"

LOL. If I had known I would have included a couple more figures!!xDD Maybe next year if they decide to sell them again... The truth is I had never seen them before and I thought they where... funny.

I'm glad you liked what I sent. What about your teeth, do you still have them all after the turrón? xDDD

I have to send you a pic of what our table looks like at Christmas so that you can compare. To start with, on Christmas Eve there was 13 of us for dinner (and 17 on Día de Reyes!), so as you can imagine it was a little bit crowded in here ;)

OMG, so they don't have the figures all year?? O_O Pity!! My brother already ordered me to get one for him when I'm in Bilbao! The figure really is brilliant and I love it to bits! And I told the story of Olentzero to my entire family (including grandparents), who were very interested and amused by it! :D (Sadly I didn't get them to sing the song. But I suppose it's a bit difficult if they haven't listened to it several times before. XD)

My teeth are still complete, but I haven't tried the turrón yet! I've been saving that for when the Farmer is here so she can have a bite too. (And I still have some turrón left from my visit to Valencia the year before last, which must be hard like a brick by now. XDD)

Pic! Yes, please! :D (How do you even manage to COOK for so many people??? O_O It's completely beyond me. You must have pots and pans the size of bathtubs!! O_O)

I might have a couple spare Olentzero figures at home ;) Anyway, there might still be some in shops in February, wouldn't bet on it, though.

"How do you even manage to COOK for so many people??? O_O"

Years of practice!! xDDD And lots of help from everyone ;) All of us get involved in the kitchen somehow.
