The flan turned out great, so I decided to make another one for the Secret Santa get together that my friends and I had over at the Garrett-Gardner residence. It was quite tasty as well....although, the first one was better. Yep, I'm a bad ass.

Christmas was quite stressful until the day of. I was shopping right up until we had to go to Andrew's parents' for Christmas Eve dinner. I've pretty much decided that people have definitely forgotten what Christmas is about. It's become too much about buying presents and all that, and it's really getting me depressed. Okay, so maybe I wouldn't be so depressed this time of year if I had more money and time to actually prepare and get in the mood.

Either way, everything's done and over with. All the presents were opened, all the food eaten, and in the end, I had a pretty good time with friends and family. Andrew did very well this year with the presents. He knocked out three out of 10 things from the Christmas wishlist without even looking at it. You wanna know what he said? He said, "Baby, I don't need to read your blog to know what you want for Christmas...I know you." hehe...I guess I underestimated his gifting abilities.
