Happy Chrismukkanzaawalidan!

Remember how tired I was? Yeah, I don't think I slept at all. If I did drop off, I don't remember it. I'm probably going to pass out in three or four hours, but I've got to get through the extended family lunch first. It's small and we're close, though, so it's not a huge ordeal or anything

I didn't get anything I really liked. My parents try, but I'm at the age (23) where they're just kinda lost. I got the new Doctor Who season, but I also bought it for myself and gave it to my mother to wrap and give to me. I got some of that odd Harajuku Lovers perfume, a sweater, socks, and some heart necklace that I really think is cheesy but my parents are very proud of picking out. ::sighs:: They mean well and I love them for it. I got them awesome stuff though. Lots of books, my mother new earrings, my sister makeup...

For Christmas dinner, it's roast beef with mushrooms and mashed potatoes and afterwards plum pudding and chocolate dipped strawberries. Hell yes. I'm honestly just glad I have a day off and a chance to eat a meal at home.

Merry Christmas, cleolinda, and thanks for all the lulz over the year

The anticipation towards the revelation of Your Favorite Gift is killing me.

Ok, so that's an exaggeration. Maybe more like it's giving me a bit of a twinge. But still, very curious as to what it could be.

My favorite gift was one of the few non-money gifts I got, from my older sister. She got me the 21 Nights book about that month of concerts Prince did in London. It's very very pretty to browse, as any good coffee table book should be, and the live CD it comes with is equally awesome. My sister is one of the few people who knows how much I dig Prince (and only occasionally teases me over it), so I'm really pleased.

I saw you mention that! It sounds really awesome.

This is pretty much my most awesomest gift this year:

I didn't even think to look for one until last night and it was way too late. xD

there's a blow up one that you can put in your front yard.... my brother gave one to my stepdad last year. lmao

Oh, wow, that jewelry is really pretty :D Happy holidays.

I got a lot of really cool stuff. The best was a copy of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition for my computer - I'm not used to having a laptop with enough space to play a truly epic game like that, and it's great. :D

Also, though it hasn't arrived yet, my brother bought me a Tibetan skull bracelet that is fantastic and actually something I've been wanting to get for quite some time. :3

I got my mum and aunt some CDs (Styx and Kansas) and some books (an Anne Rice and Catch Me If You Can - they like true crime) and I'm beyond happy that they liked them. :D

I got the yearly Borders gift card, and cooking supplies! Now, I like cooking, but my favorite one was the vegetable peeler. I just kinda wish I'd gotten it yesterday when I had to core and peel a dozen apples. Sure, it's for vegetables, but I don't think it's picky enough to turn down fruit.

I also got a "tricks for Adobe CS4" book, which is kinda... um, not so good because I don't have CS4.
