I got two pairs of pjs, but thankfully, they're not dorky at all. They'll both be very warm and cozy, actually, I love them.

It's over for most everyone now, so I hope with all my heart that everyone had a great holiday.

So jealous of you all. My Christmas hasn't happened yet! Gotta wait until Monday when my sister gets back from Canada, THEN we open gifts.

OHHHHH the agony of waiting!

All I really got was Guitar hero: world tour, The dark knight on DVD, and some little toys. Never get too old for toys.

Oh, and some gift cards. None I really could find use for, though.

Well, it's all over for another year. Kind of sad, but kind of relieving in a way too. I won't be dreading going to work so much now.

I'm wearing my brand new pjs, slippers and robe. They're all very comfy and warm, I love them.

I want to preface by saying that I really enjoyed Christmas, and I loved watching my family's response to their gifts, and all.

The Good:

Chrono Trigger DS (although I did kind of handpick it when told, "I don't know what to get you. We are in Wal-Mart. Grab something.")


Now, for the rest:

-Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (I'm a good enough actor to look pleased. Should win an Oscar)

-My THIRD copy of Batman Begins (Everybody: I have this movie. Thank you.)

-A DVD of Jeff Foxworthy (I survived this one by saying, "I heard he doesn't just do redneck jokes)


Everybody: If someone asks you what youw ant for Christmas, LET THEM KNOW.

What I've done for the past decade or so is write up a wish list in my email and save it as a draft. I usually have few emails saved in my draft folder, so I can dig it out quickly, update it every birthday and Christmas, and I just send it to my family and close friends again. I also include clothing/shoe sizes, favorite colors, favorite designers, etc. Works great, it's so easy and fast, and everyone keeps updated.

I heard the song "When a Child is Born" for the first time this season today. Yes, that's two days after the actual holiday. I love that song, I miss that song, I'm wanting to find a demo of that song so I can sing it myself sometime. I also heard Josh Groban's "Believe" only once this season, only a few days before the holiday. What is up with that?? True that some holiday music gets old after a few weeks (or days, even). But there are some others that I can't hear enough, and now I'm kind of sad I won't be hearing them anymore for another 11 months.

I guess I can always find my favorites on the internet though, but it's not the same.

there's always e-bay for that kind of thing.

so with my christmas cash I got a poster, a calendar, a headset so I could do Vocals in Guitar hero (which i shouldnt. man I cant sing at all.) and King of Fighters XI.

I think that was a good haul for about 30 bucks.
