Christmas was especially generous to me this year, particularly in the way of portable electronics. Karissa’s early iPod present has become a constant companion, much like its namesake. A much bigger surprise was a Nintendo DS from my mother, wrapped up in my usual gift of white undershirts. She was so excited, she took a picture of me after I opened it, something she’s never done before.
For another thing, I now have enough alcohol to justify a liquor cabinet. It must have been my nightcap post, because I’m practically swimming in booze, with enough to potentially get me straight through 2006. I’m just thankful that I’m old enough for it all to be perfectly legitimate.
This year was also very very good to my Squirrel collection, with a beautiful ceramic cookie jar from Erin and Nuno, and a glass change dish from Karissa’s mom. Both worth additions to a collection that deserves a post of its own.
To top it off, Karissa and our moms travelled over to US to shop on Boxing Day, and I picked up some off-the-hook shit, including two pair of these S.Carter runners (One pair black, the other, white). The exchange rate is so insane right now it was like getting a single pair in Canada, everything I bought was a major steal. Totally topnotch.
How’s that for spoiled?
