So what goodness did you GIVE for Christmas?

[devilbat]

My family made out like bandits this year. I think I went a little overboard, but what the hell, it's Christmas.

I gave my wife 2 board games, That Seventies Show: Season 1 DVD's, $60 gift card for Old Navy, 5 sessions with a personal trainer, a professional massage, 3 Shopaholic books, a travel pillow and a stocking full of goodies.

I gave my son a Gameboy advanced w/ 2 games, a bunch of books, action figures, and a kick ass stocking of stuff

I gave my daughter a new stereo, CD's and a great stocking.

364 more days to save so I can do it all again.

I got some neat gifts for people, but I was unable to find the really cool gift for anyone. My best gift I gave this year was a wedding present. I found out the couple's favorite RPG core book and got many people in the Industry to sign it and give them wedding wishes in it.

I gave my nephew a skull engraved with runes. Am I the third coolest uncle ever or what?

And I gave my each player in my gaming group a lottery ticket. If they win a million dollars, they'd better not show up without the dip next session!

That's all the gaming-related stuff

To my mom: 1500 piece jigsaw puzzle of an old world map. She's crazy about jigsaw puzzles.
To my stepdad: Grateful Dead "dancing bear" lounge pants. Basically pajama bottoms. They look real comfortable.
To my brother Adam: Belkin FM transmitter for his iPod nano.
To my brother Seth: Alice In Chains' Music Bank boxed set.
To my co-worker Jake: Movie theater gift certificate, so he can see Kong and we can finally discuss it.
To my girlfriend: The Calvin and Hobbes boxed set with every strip ever published.

Viking Bastard...its no wonder your people conquered the northern Eurasian continent... That took some serious...attitude.

We're planning a second wave, now.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore!

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war:
We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore!

So now you'd better stop,
And rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite all your losing.

On December 18th my wife, 7-year old daughter, 2-year old daughter and I returned from a 17-day trip to China. We returned with their new sister, my new daughter, a beautiful 2-year old girl!

So my son and 2 daughters got a new sibling for Christmas!

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
