However, this year...darn it...I mean last year...(whatever...I am over it...when I say "this year" I mean 2008) we had our friends Gina and Val over to help. We also changed from champagne to chocolate martinis! Yum!
When you get four women together, mixed with chocolate martinis...you do some silly things. Like wear Christmas socks...or peg your pants "just because"! Even hubby, who was completely sober, decided to peg his pants too. But he wouldn't let us take a picture of it!
Even the kids joined in the fun of wrapping! :)
By the end of the night...we were a little silly...a little intoxicated...and ready to be done with wrapping already!!!
It was a great time and I am SO glad that Val and Gina made their way over this year! I hope they will join us next year too!!!
However, I do have one word of advice for any of you out there that would like to try some chocolate martinis...they are HEAVEN. You really can't taste the alcohol. But...they are bad because of that. They are a dangerous drink! I suppose moderation would be the key in this type of situation...but they are just soooo yummy that you can't help having a second...or a third! Needless to say...I didn't feel good later on that night! Thank goodness I have the cure for hangovers because I amazingly woke up without one! :)
