    Default Christmas Hauls?!?

    Alright confess. What did you get?!?!

    Now that my parents know what I like, it was easier for them to get me stuff!

    I got:

    - 12 hour DVD set on the battles of WWII
    - Call of Duty 3 (!!!)
    - Brothers in Arms

    I also got so much candy and treats my room is over-flowing.

    - huge chocolate covered cashews jar
    - white chocolate covered pretzels
    - Dove chocolate covered cookies
    - dozens of candy coins
    - chocolate santas
    - cookies
    -snackwell cookies
    -popcorn bags
    -pringles

    *gasp for air*. I didn't need all that, because quite frankly I was fine just being with family, but hey, it makes it more entertaining!

    Merry Christmas all, and I hope you got what you wanted!

    A piece of coal, for being a cheapskate.

    Apparently, the "Let's don't buy anything for each other this year" conversation last month didn't really mean "Let's don't buy anything for each other this year.".

    It meant: "Buy me something small."

    Aye-yai-yai.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    A Snickers bar
    2 pairs of underwear

    I asked for the Snickers bar.

    She says something should arrive in the mail soon. I have no idea what it is.

    She got three big orchid plants for her collection. I bought her a laptop for her birthday last month and told her that might have to cover Christmas as well. It pretty much cleaned me out.

    The kids got MP3 players, books, DVDs, dolls, horses for dolls, houses for dolls, dogs for dolls, surgery clinics for dolls, and more dolls.

    And lots of these stupid things - http://www.toyquest.com/snubbies/snubbies_home.html

    Some of them are as small as your fingernail. But the kids love them! I, on the other hand, enjoy the rattling noise they make as they rocket up the vacuum hose.

    Well just heard my sister is getting married, she nailed one of the best hornplayers on the planet, good girl. Now all he got to do is don't die because he's very very ill. Can't have it all.

    Typically my little sister, he got her a ring and a teapot, when he asked her if she was happy she told him she always wanted a teapot like that

    That's horrible! You must act quickly and decisively! It's not you who is the villain, but the others, for breaking the treaty and making you feel ashamed and worthless for not buying anything! Remind them of your previous conversation, and get angry in front of them - REALLY angry!!! Then scream at them until they're trembling with fear and begging you for forgiveness. Then you will be the good guy, and they will look like the bad guys - which they are, of course . This tactic is the last thing they would expect, and you will take them completely by surprise, and win an utter and crushing victory over your treacherous backstabbing treaty-breaking foes!

    2lbs. of StarBucks Italian Roast Coffee
    Home-made Toffee Almond Biscotti
    2 books- Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, Team of Rivals by
    Doris Kearns Goodwin
    A hangover, dang wine snuck up on me

    Best gift of all: My daughter and her husband came up from Richmond Virginia on the friday before Christmas. We went on a little wine tasting tour on Saturday, bought two cases of New York States' finest. Hit the Niagara Falls Casino for a few hours, then went to the "Home of the Chicken Wing" the Anchor Bar for dinner. Between 6 of us we pounded down two buckets (100) of chicken wings and two pitchers of beer, none for me as the designated driver. My son-in-law demolished 40 by himself, the young think they'll stay thin forever, hah. Christmas dinner at my sisters' house, turkey with all the trimmings, I made the pecan and pumpkin pies. We had an excellent time. Stayed up too late, midnight, got up too early, 5:30am, for work.
