Jollydays
Hope one and all had a spiffin Christmas.
Christmas is NOT all about the presents, but presents are fun!
Here's what we all got:
B - MAD Magazine Book of Star Wars, pajamas, electronic chess game (from me)
- a desktop air conditioner, book of Scrabble puzzles (from DZ)
- $50 iTunes card with which to download movies and music, crazy stickers the best of which say "Actual size" (from D)
D - Nintendo Lite DS with Pokemon game, arm socks, clip-on watch (from Santa)
- military map case bag (from parents)
- money (grandparents)
- 3 Order of the Stick webcomic books (DZ)
DZ - Swiss Army flash drive (with knife and flashlight and screwdriver and, yes, a 1 GB flash drive), playing cards, GuitarPort tone rig that plugs his electric guitar into the computer (from Santa)
- card magic stuff, $15 iTunes card (from parents)
- money (grandparents)
- Guitar Hero III for XBox 360, poster of Serj Tarkanian (from D)
Me - George Foreman grill, zoom lens (from B, as well as the Nikon camera itself a bit earlier!)
- slippers with memory foam (from DZ)
- Pirates of the Caribbean III DVD set (from D)
My mom gave B and me money and some candy. B's folks gave us a large flashlight.
On Christmas morning, we didn't exactly have breakfast. There was a SPREAD. We munched on 3 different types of crackers with cheeses and cheese spreads, summer sausage slices, pumpkin-flavored cream cheese, or garlicky hummus. We also had cookies, pretzels, German gingerbread and cookies, and cashews. Num num.
Since we had the large turkey with fixin's dinner on Christmas Eve, Christmas dinner was from the Crockpot. That way I could throw everything in and laze around all day like everyone else. Aaaand, everybody loves the chicken crockpot stuff even more than turkey feasts.
There's a tradition here that, a month before Christmas (or before your birthday) no one is allowed buy anything for themselves. So, the day after Christmas, you know what that means. Yup. Off to the bookstore!!! And the day after that, off to another bookstore! Whee! I've already gotten 5 calendars (because I am crazy, that's why)!
