I only had two gifts for Dave and I felt terrible. Dave had NONE for me (yet) and I don't think he minded at all! (Nor should he, because I honestly didn't mind.) He's much more easy-going about it all.<br /><br />The shellfish sounds like a great dinner and YIKES -- 28 degrees IS cold!

I did likewise. Martha Stewart, I'm not. Kind of consider that a badge of honor. :)<br /><br />Hope your mood lightens and that the weather warms up a bit...we started with 58 degrees around midnight and it has already dropped to 34 before noon.
