Hope all of your so on and so forth!
My parents surprised me with an iPod touch, which was thoroughly out of character for them. I can't remember the last time I was surprised with something for Christmas. I also can't remember the last time they bothered to look up what any piece of technology was, much less impulse-buy it. It was, shall we say, touching?
This (academic) year I've gotten everything I wanted so far. Honestly, after the amount of monies I spent in Europe (and the redonkulous leather jacket I bought in Florence) I wasn't even expecting a Christmas gift.
Last night, I went to sleep not with visions of sugarplums dancing in my head, but visions of Sonic the Hedgehog and later, a penguin. My first dream involved me completely mastering Sonic in Super Smash Brawl. I did the single player mode, the classic mode, and this is boring. Uh, my second dream involved a penguin that followed me home from the zoo. I had to keep it in the bathtub and give it a tiny heimlich whenever it swallowed too much water.
So I guess what I'm saying is, Merry Christmas?
