We are spending the holiday with DH's family. His parents are really trying to keep him and his siblings/cousins together, so that we'll have big family holidays as we all inevitably reproduce.

Turkey, as long as MIL doesn't make it. These people don't know the meaning of brine. I'm slowly going to infiltrate and get them to let me throw the holiday parties

We'll go visit the friends at some point in the afternoon, but we're doing both breakfast and dinner at our house with my parents this year.

I've been using Proactiv for 7 years and it works as good as the commercials for me as well.  I also have sensitive skin, and can't use ANYTHING with alcohol in it. I get mine sent to me from the website and I can control how long between shipments.  It cost $45.90 for the wash, toner and lotion which last me around 3 months or so.  I highly recommend it.

10. What is the best thing about Christmas besides presents?? My dad.  He loves Christmas more than I do and he will spend hours scouring the aisles at the super market for the most random shiit to put in our stockings.   He puts celebrity names as the "from" on almost all of his presents.  One year he gave my mom a Kitchen Aid mixer and said it was from "Julia"(Childs).  Yet another year he gave my aunt a pair of earrings and wrapped in a box.  Then he put it in another box, filled that box with this styrofoam peanuts, and wrapped that.  He repeated that until he had a box the size of a TV.   It was hilarious watching her unwrap all of these boxes and they're getting smaller and smaller and smaller.  My dad is awesome.
