[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 570649, member: 9175"] I am also feeling blessed. difficult child was so appreciative of her gifts. All she said she wanted were pajamas and red shirts (she works at Target and has to wear a red shirt every day). We have a tradition of giving PJs on Christmas eve, and I didn't want to get her four pairs of pjs (I give three gifts on Christmas, one for each of the Three Wisemen). I bought her a pair of fleece PJ pants with a red henley that could also be worn as a regular shirt, a beautiful black lace skirt that was cool enough that she'd like it, not not hoochy (so I'd like it!), and a gift certificate to my hairdresser (who she adores). She was thrilled with everything, but her reaction to the skirt was priceless. She has major body-image issues, but the skirt was flatterign and fit perfectly. She wore it to my nieces and got a ton of compliments. She got me two long-sleeved t-shirts (love them!) and bubble bath. So sweet. She went with me to my niece's and then to her dad's girlfriend's. Tonight, her boyfriend is taking her to Trans Syberian Orchestra. Lucky kid. I did think that what her dad and girlfriend got her was odd ... She has been talking about getting an apartment, even sort of had one lined up but it fell through (long story). She really cannot afford to live on her own on part-time Target wages, but in his typical Ostrich style, he bought her a Cuisinart griddle thingy. Really? girlfriend did buy her a super soft blanket, but then she bought her a welcome mat (?) and some pot holders. For a 21 year old? Who lives with her mom and will for some time to come? They (girlfriend and Ossy) are big Costso shoppers. You could tell that's where they did their Christmas shopping this year. LOL. difficult child was happy, and I kept my mouth shut but...weird.
