Getting the right boxes can be such a struggle! And I never had to get them for ornaments as I don't usually put up a tree. By the time I'm used to it being put up, I'm typically already at my parents' place and I help there. They have ornament sets and still use the original packaging. That certainly makes it easier.
Also, yay for finding long lost family recipes! Whenever I think of it, I try to "help" my mother with cooking something I'd like the recipe for and note down the steps. I'm not sure if it can be called helping though. I think she's too used by us getting bored and stopping to help that she doesn't know how to deal with us helping and if we offer it's more like peeling vegetables / cutting stuff up. Or she just prefers to have the kitchen to herself when she cooks.

And a little cheer for the rash improving. *hugs*
