Well, for all intensive purposes Christmas is over. I have to head back to the grandparent’s house next weekend but all the other relatives have been covered. I spent a whirlwind 24 hours at Courtney’s grandparent’s yesterday. I’ve never seen so many people in one spot in my life. I like to think my family is larger. But mine pales in comparison to the amount of relatives which manage to jam themselves into that small house in the middle of Wisconsin.

So, what did I get? A ton of stuff I would have never bought for myself. But that’s the good thing. That’s why I love Christmas. Not because there are things that I want. If I want something. I go get it. I love the fact that someone took some time out of their life to find something that would represent how important our relationship is. So, on to the list.

1. A subscription to Linux Journal (The geekest thing I got this Christmas)
2. A Zen fountain
3. An Mp3/CD Player

4. Pants, 2 Sweatshirts, and a neck/hood thingy.
5. A “Who moved my cheese?” desk calendar
6. A food mixer
7. A book of The Onion articles and a t-shirt that says “I’m in a promising local band.”


That’s all I can remember off hand. If I missed something it’s not due to my distaste with it. I just have a horrible memory. And no, this is not in any sort of order.
