It was a great day.
I got to watch my little brother and sister open their gifts from me...
Jenny, my little sister, saw Shoots & Ladders, put it down and opened another one of her gifts without much fanfare. My little brother Joram was THRILLED over Candyland and proceded to rip it out of the box(totally destroying the box) and loosing every piece to it in under two minutes...
with exeption of the board.
Oh well.
Santa brought me a keyboard(oh my! My fingers almost hit two keys! Bugger!) since I liked toying with my cousin's this past year. I also recieved Filthy Rich(Richard Garfield's excellent "board" game), Stratego, a giant Checkers doormat that came with giant checkers, a "CD STOMPER" label program for burned CDs, Warm-Ups for undergarmets(the mandatory unseen clothing gift), Amused To Death(DUke, pick this up for $6. You'll love the subject matter) and Radio K.A.O.S. by Roger Waters, Mutter by Rammstein, and Pioneers Who Got Scalped: A Devo Anthology.
My brother and sister got three times this stuff... WOW it was a big christmas.
My mother also cooked the Dinner this year(we stayed at our house insted of going to my grandmother's this year), and the stuffin' was actually edible without any Garlic or Onions in it! It's a MIRACLE. We also didn't run out of ketchup for the Turkey as we usually do, so that was good, too.
Aaaahh. I also had quite a bit of fun playing Checkers with my little sister. She lost every time, sadly, but we had a couple of close games.
