Of Christmas and Birthdays
Christmas was great! My family's been going through some financial crap lately, but I'm glad my mom still managed to pull it off. Here's a list of the things I got, since all the cool kids are doing it:
- a Gobo "Fraggle Rock" hat
- several pairs of gloves, along with a scarf and hat
- an Oswald the Lucky Rabbit plush
- a big jar of Nutella, homemade cookies and peanut brittle
- several books
- a lava lamp
- a new winter coat
- and a bunch of other small things
My aunts, uncle and grandparents came over for dinner. Unfortunatley both my brother and dad had to go to work for most of the day, so we started dinenr early in the day. It was about the same as any other Christmas, but I still enjoyed myself very much.
Yesterday was Sam's birthday. He's 22 now! We went down to Dover so he could buy some new hats and patches for his jacket. Then we played Magic: The Gathering at a gaming shop with a friend for a bit. I kind of got the hang of it. Then we had dinner at Texas Roadhouse, after which we watched "Akira" at the friend's house where we spent the night. It was a good day.
Now I'm home and back to work! I've some new costme commissions that need working on, not to mention my year-end accounting. I enjoyed my personal holiday break. =]
