All My Friends Are Doing It Too
So, the Christmas haul:
+ A cut-out paper ornament with cute nisse from forgottensanity
+ Hand cream and I think also body cream (I'm too lazy to go walk over and check the label), also from Cat
+ An entire delicious tin full of long-gone cookies, snowballs, and burnt almonds from Cat
+ OMGCUTEPENGUIN bookmarks from augustuscaesar
+ A calendar with Scenes of Australia (and Waitangi Day prominently marked!), also from Tara
+ $425 (combined) from both grandmothers and my father
+ A charm against car accidents, which H picked up at the Meiji shrine
+ A random omikuji (poem drawing), also courtesy of H
+ ROSES!!!!111!11oneone!!flowers!!1, from H
+ Y2000, which is technically not a Christmas present but is my half of the take from a bet H made with his friends (he won)
+ A giant chocolate patty with nuts, labeled a "reindeer pie", from X-chan
+ Dark chocolate flavored with espresso!, from m0mmy
+ A highly realistic replica of a giant squid, from X-chan
+ A Viking statue that X-chan picked up in Denmark (note to dethorats: NYAH NYAH NYAH, I GOT A SQUID AND A VIKING FOR CHRISTMAS, AND YOU DIDN'T.)
+ Towels in Manly colors, from m0mmy (don't laugh--my old towels were leftover from college and they look it, too, but we can use them to make a cozy nest for Callice)
+ A snuggly!blanket, from m0mmy (we had one on the guest bed, to which I grew emotionally attached)
+ A Bad Cat calendar and matching notepad, from m0mmy
+ The Dead Sea hand care kit (you know, with the sea salts and that), from X-chan
+ A copy of What Is The What, from X-chan
+ A coffee grinder from m0mmy
+ Cards from angeljuggalette, beldar, and driley1
Callice received a new catnip toy, which she played with for all of five minutes before she decided that it would be more fun to go gnaw on the curly ribbon on the packages. We wound up tying curly ribbon to the catnip toy (which entailed touching cat slobber), and she was mellow for all of twenty minutes. Seriously, I do not understand why some people sentimentalize their cats.
Happy holidays, you lot. ♥
