X-mas time is here again. Ok, not so much what with it being three days afterwards. Meh. Moving right along!
So usually I wax poetic about christmas and all that. This year I will list what booty I have aquired so far. There would be more but my family has odd christmas traditions, such as only opening one gift a day.
Christmas swag:
1. Party blender from Ian.
This gift is nifty because now I can whip up strange concoctions in the basement and not have to trek upstairs all the time. It is also evil because from what people have told me, they're great for making mixed drinks and I have a large supply of alcohol in the basement.
2. The complete illustrated works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from parents.
Sherlock Holmes was a favorite of mine growing up. This was the original CSI. So this was great to get. Drawback: it's rather large. More of a coffee table book than for actual reading. Not that it will stop me
3. Socks, small thing of perfume and a purse notebook from grandparents.
I asked for socks and I got socks. This is a good gift. The perfume and notebook were just added bonuses.
4. Mini Zen rock garden with tea lights and links for bracelet from Aunt Heather.
I like fire so candles are always a good gift. The Zen thing just makes it better. The links for the bracelet are cool, she got me the Scottish and Australian flags. No drawbacks here, other than me maybe burning something down with the candles.
5. Sweater and new pants from the parents.
The sweater is nice, the color for once actually looks good on me. The pants on the other hand, didn't work out so well. They were size 3/4. I am a size 5 at the least. Oh well, it's the thought that counts.
So there's the gift list thus far. Now, I must go get Josh's gift in the mail one of these days. Hey kitten! Love you!
Quote of the day:
"In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'"
Dave Barry.
