Merry Belated Christmas, A Happy New Year and A Fun Christmas Story

I thought I'd stop by with a note to say I'm sorry we missed wishing you a Merry Christmas, but I'm getting in an early Happy New Year unless you're down under and then I'm just on time! 



I love Christmas Day!  The kids are always so excited and we just love to watch their faces light up.  We spend Christmas morning at home and then go to my mom's for Christmas dinner and presents.  Things were a bit rough, but when you take for granted you always have yeast and flour and those things are somehow missing from the pantry shelves you become inventive to make rolls.  So I sent Hoss to my sister's to procure flour and found some yeast in the back of the cabinet that may been a wee bit past expiration date.  No worries the rolls turned out amazing.  

We made it to my mom's a wee bit late, but all was good.  Things turned a bit interesting when the gifts began to be unwrapped.  I was helping keep the kids stocked with gifts and had not opened a few of mine.  When I finally sat back and began to unwrap I received some nice cookie sheets and a few other gifts, but the one that took my breath away, the one that really made me beam as bright red as Rudolph's nose was this....
And not in a good way.  You see my lovely vanilla mom provided this gift to me and my sister.  Both very vanilla folks.  They had no idea what Hoss would do or think once he saw what would turn out to be more for him than me.  I quickly thanked my mom and shoved it behind me trying desperately to tame my coloring and not show Hoss.  Thankfully no one was worse for the wear until we arrived home.   Hoss was super excited when his eyes feasted on the bounty before him.  

I know your HOH's would drool too!  So which implement do you think drew his eye?  I'll let you all decide and you can comment below.  Also, just so you know some will be in our kitchen, cannot have my mom thinking her gift went to waste.  Hoss can be so generous sometimes, lol!

Have a great New Year's and stay safe!

Love,
Hoss and Baker

  1. Hi Baker, just in time for New Year for me :)

    Glad you had a lovely Christmas day and that all turned out well. I laughed my head off when I saw the silicone set. If your Mom only knew! LoL. Hmm, I'm thinking Hoss's eyes alighted on either the large or strainer spurtle. I have never heard that term before btw.

    Wishing you, Hoss and tribe a very Happy New Year full of health, love and laughter.

    Hugs

    1. Thank you, Roz, happy new year to you and Rick as well. Yes, I'd never heard of a spurtle before either and I have a feeling this will be the gift that keeps on giving! Yes, the strainer spurtle was his gift (or weapon) of choice.

  2. Hi Baker,
    What a funny present for a vanilla to give a spanko. I can just imagine Hoss when he saw it. I already know which one he favours so won't join in guessing. Hope they don't appear too often other than in the kitchen for cooking.
    Counting down the time to our celebrations, 9 hours to go. Yay!
    Happy New Year to you, Hoss and all the kidlets. Hope 2018 brings you much joy, good health and plenty of GG?MFLs.
    Hugs Lindy xx

    1. Miss Lindy,
      I get to share now, yes, it's the holey one and it packs a wallop. Happy New Year to you and Bear!

  3. That's a great gift for everyone, lol. I will bet the one with holes caught his eye. Hope that they were a little enjoyable and that he forgets about them when the spanking isn't for fun. That would hurt. Christmas with little ones always is fun.
    Hope you have a Happy New Year!

    1. Hi, Blondie,
      You are correct at which one caught his eye. They are not for fun in Hoss' mind, but then again he believe Bertha is fun. Christmas is a blast with little ones. It was such a lovely time! Happy New Year to you and yours!

    1. Hi, Terps,
      Yes, there were too many possibilities, but the holey one was definitely his go to for his first choice. Hope you and yours had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year!

  5. Oh my, if I ever opened a gift like that from one of my kids, I am not sure if Master and I could keep it together...they all look like they have possibilities...I have learned..holes are not a good thing. hugs abby

    1. Miss Abby,
      I will say I tried extremely hard to smile and act appreciative. I had a hard time though as I naturally turn bright red when I'm embarrassed, so I moved passed this "lovely" gift as quickly as possible. If Hoss had seen it I'm sure I would have lost it. Actually, I know I would have!
      Holes are not friendly. To that I agree! Hope you and M had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

      Happy New Year's to you and yours as well! The gift definitely has seen some spanking action.

  7. They all look like they could have great possibilities... but I'm gonna go with the one with holes?

    Hope you had a great new years!

    1. And...you are correct! Ding, ding, ding! Fondles, I have to say the one with holes is remarkably stingy for being so quiet.
