For me it's really just another day. When my grandmother was alive, and half my family hadnt gone insane yet, my aunt that lives across the street (she's on the more sane side of the family) would make baskets for everyone. But, then half the family went insane (during the reading of my grandmother's will...it's always about money)

So, half the family doesnt talk, and other than my aunt's two daughters and 3 (soon to be 4) grandchildren, I'm the only other person she makes a basket for.

At least she buys good chocolate and loads us up on the M&M's.

I usually make my parents baskets, but this year, I cant load my dad up with candy and coffee. This year his basket is really just going to be a small assortment of decaf coffee's (the kind that make 1 pot each) I might get him a jar of no salt nuts. He's developed a heart problem and cant have anything cool anymore. (his choice, he's trying to lose a lot of weight. He's lost 50+ pounds, but most of that so far was due to the diuretics he's taking)

I guess I'll do some sort of a cookie and candy basket for my mom. She likes cookies...too bad she only likes one kind of coffee (chickory flavored...ewwwwww!!! It's some weird Southern thing) I'm going to get her some See's candy to go with the cookies.
