Let me begin by saying that Marisol is a clever clever girl.

Way more clever and creative than I managed to be for the Movie Themed Edition of the Special Swap. In emailing back and forth, Marisol discovered that I have a soft spot for Cary Grant* and hit on the movie Holiday (with Katherine Hepburn**). I am especially excited because neither Great Gran nor I have seen it!

Marisol packed up the movie and also included gifts for the rest of the 2007 Holiday Season!

First up, Halloween:

Candy! And a cool pumpkin straw. There used to be Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but Michael ate them all.

Next comes Thanksgiving! Although she assures me that I can make the pumpkin bread any day:

Turkey Dish Cloth!

Last, but Best of All, Christmas!

The coffee is for All Occasions - occasions like tomorrow morning.

That is the pattern for the turkey dish cloth sticking out of the Holiday Gifts Interweave. The round things are walnut cookies: two roundy nutty cookie halves filled with chocolatey nutty goodness. Neatest things I’ve seen in quite a while - and delicious too.

One more present (in a stocking shaped bag):

Do I get another point if I make them in time to wear Christmas Eve?

It’s Duet Sock Yarn full of Christmas Sock Potential! I’ve never tried this yarn, it’s smooshy and really pleasant to touch. Plus: contrast yarn for heels and toes. I love that.

This was so much fun to open! It will be even more fun to use and eat! Speaking of eating, I need to go and sort out supper; while I could live on walnut cookies, others residents might prefer something more substantial.

*Seriously, people. Who doesn’t?
**Another perennial favorite.
