So What Did Santa Bring You?
- Thread starter Knightfall
- Start date
I ended up with the following:
Food coloring stains on our good dining room table cloth.
Three stinky diapers in the trash can.
Two pounds of uneatten salmon.
Bags full of used wrapping paper.
Bloody bandages from my wife's cut finger.
Long distance bills for calls to both my parents.
Stuff full recycling bins filled to the gills with cans and bottles.
Wear marks of the credit card from all of the machine swiping.
Several days of used ferret litter.
Drooping tree full of brown pine needles.
Stitches on my nieces left eye from colliding with a bathtub faucet.
Bruises on my wife's rear end from falling down the stairs.
Skid marks on my recently refinished living room hard wood floors.
Scores and scores of dirty dishes.
Boy do I depise the holiday season.

I live far from my relatives and many friends, and most gift giving actually takes place on New Year here. Plus, I may get gifts from my D&D group tonight at our Boxing Day session.
So, I got
-Money
-An Electric Toothbrush.
Really, though, our gift is our Post-xmas vacation to Goa, India.. I'm really looking forward to it.

I got a new apartment! It has, like, running water and electricity and stuff! Mang, they think of everything these days.
Okay, I got it for myself, but those are the presents you know you'll like. And I had to sell my soul to the bank for the next 10 years but I'm a statistician working in insurance, so it's hardly like I'll miss it.
I am feeling far more mellow than can be healthy. Pics will be up as soon as I can find my camera.

I got some good stuff.
-Return of the King EE DVD gift set (Minas Tirith is awesome!)
-Star Wars DVD box set
-Fireborn Player's Handbook
-Complete Divine
-Ars Magica 5th Edition (Woot!)
-The Song of Susannah (Now I just need to pick up The Dark Tower so I can finally finish this series)
-Clothes (much needed)
-Troy and RotK soundtracks
-marble chess set
-hourglass (very similar to the one in Master & Commander. Very cool)
Probably the best part of the day, though, was my brother coming home. He just got out of the Navy and is now home for good. A very good day, all-in-all.

LotR:RotK EE DVD
Lone Wolf Roleplaying Game
Complete Arcane
Traditional Candy Bag, including homemade English Toffee
Mervyn's Giftcards
Some Cash
I'm at least as excited about my wife's gifts:
Neverwinter Nights Platinum Edition DVD
New Dishes
Green Day: American Idiot
Jerry McGuire DVD
Freaky Friday (1976) DVD
Traditional Candy Bag, including peppermint bark and giant Hershey's kiss
Mervyn's gift cards
Cash
The dog got some new chew toys
Not a bad haul, I suppose, considering that my wife and I are waiting until next month, when we have more money, to buy gifts. My in-laws got us the gift cards - annoyingly unimaginative, impersonal, and practical.
I'm just glad to have a warm bed to sleep in, a wife who loves me, and a few days off before I have to go back to school.
Oh! I almost forgot. I got to spend Christmas Eve gaming!
