So on Christmas Day, I gave up shopping and decided on the perfect gift - Jusco vouchers. I don't know about you, but when someone give me vouchers, I'm really happy because I can then use the vouchers to buy anything I want! Don't you agree that makes the perfect gift?
Since I subscribe to the News Straits Times, I was given Jusco vouchers worth RM150. Luckily, I haven't used up all the vouchers yet, so I took 2 vouchers worth RM20 each as gift for my friend. Only problem was, how was I going to wrap the vouchers up and present them to my friend without looking as if I was giving her the smallest, slimmest gift ever given to anyone on planet Earth?
After some thinking, I hit onto an idea. Why not put the vouchers into a small box and then fill up the box with chocolates and sweets? Good idea, no?
This was how the gift looked like after I had it wrapped up.
When I reached my friend's house, I was a little embarrassed to see how big the other gifts were compared to mine. Well, I told myself just because those gifts were huge, it did not mean she would like them! I think she would prefer my vouchers as she could buy anything she want with them! Pretty good at comforting myself, yes?
Anyway, the food were delicious! Here are some pictures of the food I ate.

The mandatory turkey which I had the honour of doing the cutting.
Fresh salad with lots of strawberries
Pasta
Mushroom soup which is not really a soup but to be used as sauce for the pasta

A Christmas dinner is not complete without a fruit cake!
My friend also prepared some fried chicken wings which were absolutely delicious, although a bit too spicy. Some guests brought along desserts like custard, cheese cake, chocolate cake, and many more. We also had red and white wine. I was too busy talking and eating I forgot to take pictures of them!
It was certainly an enjoyable Christmas dinner. I hope I will get invited again next Christmas!
