My Christmas haul:

The "Yes you can" is a battery operated can opener (arthritic hands) that zips off the entire top of the can.  The stick thing is designed to get the last little bit from the bottom around the blades of the Vitamix.  I am hoping that it will ease my disgruntlement at the fact that the bottom doesn't screw off like in other blenders.  

 

From my stocking:

Santa overdid it a bit on the candy element because he was constrained to just stocking gifts this year as we are were are planning a trip in November for just the two of us.  This may or may not happen now.  

 

I have quite a collection of the Viancin lids (and bowls).  The smoked oyster stories are great.  Years ago I was sending care packages to Armed Service members in Afghanistan and Iraq.  I was putting in soap, pillows, candy, jerky etc usually, but one day I started including in cans of smoked oysters on a lark.  I got letters back from the recipients with excitement over the smoked oysters.  Who knew?    Lots of smoked oyster fans out there it seems.
