I have one family member, which is great at Christmas because it means I can dote on them, although this year I'm rather strapped as tuition and two months of rent just came out of me.

Mum gets:
Bathrobe/slippers
Gotye album
Up dvd
Egg frying pan
Awkward Family Photos puzzle

and hopefully a bottle of riesling, if I can find a good one around town.

Is it? I have sparse knowledge of wine as a result of my roomie taking a wine pairing course for culinary school. What I know about riesling is that it is awesome. I also know that port is bad and pinor noir tastes like hooves.

Riesling is the only wine that can be made both sweet and dry....and can be paired with any type of food because of this

Best paired with asian cuisine, such as curries or thai food (favourites). I love it because even the kabinett is sweet, light, and refreshing.

it is the only wine that does not give me headaches

It's the first wine I've ever liked, honestly. Drinks really easy, goes with everything.

I'm especially broke this season so I'm recording myself reading a variety of my favorite short stories, creative essays and poems then burning them on to discs and personalizing them to members of my family. Man friend gets a knit hat and sex, friends get knit hats and pot brownies.

Much better then a trucker hat and slapped in the face.
