A Dollar Store Christmas

This year I asked the Wife to allow me to set aside my Christmas gift budget for my Camino walk.  I was fine with not having anything to unwrap.  While she agreed, she was not willing to open presents alone.

After having facials and  a few beers with a friend, they went to a Dollar Store and went Christmas Shopping.  Selection at the Dollar Store is a little limited but, the Wife was able to come up with some ... interesting presents for me to open.

• A brownie mix
• A chocolate chip cookie mix
• A bag of chocolate chips 
• A package of Daddy Ray's Fig Bars
• Chocolate Christmas bells (think chocolate kisses in the shape of a bell)
• Banana Chips
• A solid milk chocolate ballerina (from the Wife's friend)
• and the pièce de résistance, three masked wrestler action figures

She topped off the gifts with a stop at a convenience store.

• 20 scratchers ... which turned out to be worth $22.00

These presents went well with the twizzlers (a Christmas tradition) and bullet level I got from Mom, the Cabela's gift card from the Matron of Honor and Best Man, and Camino cash from the In-Laws and various other family members.

I have to say I had a very satisfying Christmas this year.
