Just one tradition here I can really get into.

I know not every company does this but ena gets a Xmas basket (although it comes in huge box) each year around this time.

Visual --> THE BASKET PIC

That combined with her double salary in November can make the holidays cheerier and fatter Big Grin Wink Red Face

One of the few (very few) disadvantages of working for myself and at home is that nobody gives me an AWESOME BASKET at the holiday times but I think ena will share, especially since I lugged the 50+ pound thing up the stairs to our apt. Eeker

Can massive amounts of Queso, Jam�n, Chorizo, Vino, etc... cure a hiatal hernia Big Grin ? I will let you know Wink

Saludos,
jer...

That is a pretty impressive basket I have to say! Mine was about the same size, but filled with only three things:

  • 1) a bottle of gormet olive oil
  • 2) an whole lomo (I'm used to it in Spanish and haven't translated it before. The dictionary calls it 'pork loin'? It's a pretty common Iberian 'Tapa') &
  • 3) an entire, good quality cured ham or 'pata negra' (black hoof).

Needless to say, we're going to be enjoying 'surtidos ibericos' at our home during the holidays! Big Grin
:cheers: - to all! Wink
