As the digests seem to be few and far between maybe I can ask everyone what lace related items they received for Christmas? I only got a few. My DH got me a One and Only pillow from Snowgoose which I have to cover. My family thought it rather odd that I should get a huge box which when unwrapped contained what looked like polystyrene blocks, no gift inside it. I also got a copy of Bridget Cooks Building Torchon Patterns to add to my bookcase and a friend sent me beads and a pair of scissors in a little metal holder from Past Times in England. When DH asked me what I wanted for Christmas I had replied a One and Only. He took a little persuading seeing as I had bought an expensive pillow last summer at convention. Ca't understand that we can never have too many pillows. :-) I hope everyone had a happy Christmas. We did have snow on Christmas Day but only a dusting of about an inch. I am also happy that none of my British friends or relations went to Indonesia or other places for exotic holidays this year. Watching the tv news has been horrifying and I am so sad for all the people involved in the disaster. Let us hope that relief is sent to them soon. Janice
