The best belated gift?

jmc_bksSo, my Christmas booty is quite varied. The highlight? The Barbapapa book. And the new spare tire (not a donut) for my car. The low? Well, the gift certificate to IHOP. I appreciate the thought, but am not even sure where there is an IHOP near me. And I haven't been to one since college, when it (or Denny's) was the only thing open after last call. In between is a variety of sparklies and thingamabobs. Plus a four piece double boiler. Will I ever use it? Doubtful, but my mom thought it was necessary after learning that I melted a microwave safe bowl while making holiday treats and sweets. (Who knew that melting chocolate would get that hot? Of course, as The Biochemist pointed out, anything will melt given enough heat.)
But yesterday when I arrived home, I found the Best Holiday Gift Ever -- the car that had been abandoned in front of my house was finally GONE! It only took 11 phone calls to the city and 4 separate incident report numbers, one chalking of the tires, three (maybe four?) tickets, and two tow stickers -- one marked that the tag number did not exist in the MVA's database. It is GONE AT LAST! Of course, my neighbor immediately parked in that spot, but still, the spot is available again!
