I suppose I should do like the others and list my Christmas presents. They're just so... many!
From ze family
-The Last Mimzy and Tuck Everlasting from Mum. (I've seen Tuck Everlasting a few years ago and it was quite pretty. We watched The Last Mimzy on Christmas Day and it's... hard to describe. It had its flaws, but it's still very good.)
-Aska, the new book by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, from Dad.
-The Raccoon Princess, a Japanese/Chinese film, from Jared. (I call Mika a raccoon - does that make me a raccoon princess?)
I can't remember what Kristján got me. Did he get me anything?
From ze friendsorz
-A Napoleon Dynamite action figure from Alda.
-A Beatles cup from Halla the Black.
-A candy cane from Halla the Infrared.
-A beautiful porcelain bell from Heiðar.
-A homemade upa-pillow from Jenny and Chris.
-A book about the Beatles, a keychain that says "LOVE" and a little pack with some tape and staplers from Lísa.
-A pretty rock from María.
-A book about spionage equipment from Pétur. (I thought it was a joke, but Kristján glanced at the part about hacking and declared that this was for real. I'm sure it will come in handy.)
-A deck of Yellow Submarine playing cards from Sunna.
-What appears to be the soundtrack from Love Actually and the album The First Crusade by Jakobínarína from Tóti and JónÞór.
-A candle and the soundtrack from Across the Universe from Unnur. (She asked me to tell her whether the Beatles are being slaughtered in this album.)
Aaaand ze following peoplz gave me mix-CDz
-Alda
-Halla the Infrared
-Haukrún
-Heiðar
-Lísa
-Pétur
I really hope I'm not forgetting anyone.
Yesterday I went to a family dinner at my uncle's house. We played with my new Yellow Submarine cards. I was wearing my commie beret. I explained to one of my cousins that the star on it stands for the Soviet Union, which is now called Russia (it's not quite true, but I wasn't about to go into political discussions with a 9-year-old). She said she liked the symbol. That's a good sign. Hehehe!
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!
