DS2 (6 months) loved his bird and elephant cherry wood teethers, and his elf doll, which looks pretty ridiculous but it's cute and good practice for later dolls.
DS1 liked his train table from daddy, first comment he made was joyfully announcing his brother couldn't reach up there. He liked his wooden animals but hasn't stopped to play with them much yet, though the sheep did sit in the driver's seat of his bobcat loader truck thing.
The family liked their fleece scarves a lot, soft and warm and colorful and they thought the cuts were pretty straight. That was an easy and cheap gift for 12 people.
DH loved his shield. He swordfights in the society for creative anachronism and I got him an aluminum tournament shield blank and painted it with his heraldic arms (certain blue and yellow stripes and a stag). He's all excited about adding the handle and edging next.
We didn't finish DS2's booties but we will.
The candy was wonderful. So were the dinners, the Christmas Eve feast with guests was huge and came out perfect, and I didn't drop til it was over. DH stuffed himself, having been on a diet for 2 months it was really something for him to pig out on great food for a couple of days before getting back to it.
My dad got DH a great woodworking book so more homemade things are in store in the future.
