Here's what I got so far.

WW2 reference book.

So much junk food too. This was just from my wife, I'll be going to my parents house later today to exchange gifts with them and my brothers and sisters.

  • clothes (bunch of fleeces, mostly)
  • some chocolates (can eat it but not big on chocolate, really)
  • two pairs of socks
  • and an alarm clock (just a plain one, quite random really, i didnt exactly need one)

Yeah, this is pretty normal these days. Though I'm acuaully surprised I didn't get any cards with money in them, that's what people normally do since they don't know what to get. Everyone else in my family each got like a big box of DVDs and Blurays and stuff. Sorta wondering where's mine?

Yeah we have Cadbury "Dairy Milk" chocolate. Pretty mcuh what we consider "plain" chocolate and basically my favourite. I can't really say whether it's better or not because I've not tried any american cadbury stuff.

Merry Christmas!! It was a great year for me this year. Yarr always makes Christmas a wonderful time.

Some highlights of this morning with Yarr:
- a 2011 Mazda 3 that we bought
- beautiful earrings
- a new hand vacuum
- a grill/griddle for the kitchen
- a Peanuts holiday collection book
- some cleaning stuff for my new car
- a Lululemon gift card

It's been a great day so far!

Yeah we have Cadbury's. They make cream-filled eggs around Easter, hard to eat but bloody delicious. My mom sent me a Blue Moon beer gift basket with a bunch of meat, nuts and stuff along with the beer. Money from dad. That's about it. Bought myself "The Promise" a Bruce Springsteen box set about the making of Darkness on the Edge of Town.

This was an amazing Christmas with great family time. My sister is in town and we have been celebrating a little too much. I need to detox from all the holiday booze.

My girlfriend loves cleaning but doesn't cook. I'm a good cook but I hate cleaning. It works out perfect.

Doing both sucks haha. My life has been so much better since my girlfriend moved in.

Now...if I could only get her to start playing video games! haha (not gonna happen aside from the Wii).

Work her in with LittleBigPlanet and Mario Kart/Kirby's Epic Yarn. Then work your way up to DKC Returns and L4D. You'll be there in no time! :P
