Loot
There are two things I like about Christmas. My grandmother's dog, Cricket, and presents (both giving and getting). Here's what I got this year:
From Santa
- Stocking
A hollow chocolate santa
A whole bunch of Lindt Lindor (I joked that "my stocking's full of Lindt!" but nobody got it)
Flinstones vitamins (because I'm apparently still six)
Two packs of antihistamines (always usefull)
A tube of toothpaste
Other random chocolate
Floss
- Non stocking
6 pairs of undewear
4 pairs of socks
A container of Quality Street chocolates and a box of After Eights (somebody forgot to tell Santa that I'm boycotting Nestle, I guess)
One bottle of Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo for "dry, rebellious, frizzy hair" and one conditioner, same. Think Santa's trying to tell me something?
One bottle Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash and one tube Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash cream cleanser. Again with the hints.
One Burt's Bees Head to Toe Starter kit including all manner of lotions, soaps, lip balms, etc.
One New York Times crossword puzzles page-a-day calendar.
I'm quite satisfied with my Santa loot. It will come as quite a shock to me, I'm sure, to discover one day that things like underwear, toothpaste, shampoo, and socks actually cost money. I'm 21 years old and I've never paid for my own, (well maybe toothpaste and shampoo, because they don't last a whole year) because Santa gives them to me each and every year.
Now, on to
Loot from Family
- Guelph
From my aunt Trish and her family, a big fleece blanket and two pairs of angora/wool/nylon blend socks. Very warm and comfy, if a bit sweaty
From my aunt Ellie and her family, a set of towels, dark forest green and beige.
- Deep River
From my grandmother, a crisp, new, brown 100 dollar bill. I don't think I've ever had one before. Crazy, no? Maybe I'll splurge and buy myself a Rabbit with it. I hope she doesn't ask what I spent it on.
From my sister, a nice grey scarf that she crocheted to replace the one she gave me two years ago that I lost. I know I know, I'm a bad sister.
And, from my parents:
A calendar of Extreme Women that not only has pictures of women doing crazy things (like standing on the wings of airborne biplanes), but also marks important dates in women's history. I'll blog each date as it comes.
A book by Paul Krugman about the economy and the Bush administration, and why it sucks.
And ..... A CUISINART FOOD PROCESSOR!!!! WooHoo!!!
And th-th-th-that's all folks.
