Oh, Demon Haunted World!!! I love that book! In a very real way that book changed the way I look at the world. Everything else seems pretty nice too!


Santa brought a bunch of Legos for E (for me he left enough time to play with them with E). He also brought us an Xbox360 that E just loves (he's happy about the Star Wars Lego game but loves the new Indiana Jones Lego game). He's not really happy about not taking it to his mom's place but it is for both of us... :naughty:

I spent a gift card from my mom on groceries for freeze fest!! :nod:

[IntrepidXJ]

But my best "gift" was the tear of joy my son shed when he opened his new macbook. He totally did not expect that!

The wife and I generally shop for things that we can each use together like the new HD TV, Blu-Ray DVD, etc.

I got 1/2 of a beef for Christmas, from my folks. They had a huge apple harvest out at the farm, so for the last few months of this Black Angus's life he ate tons of Apples and you can taste the sweetness in the meat. My 3 year old a digital camera just made for kids (which I'm not impressed with, only holds about 15 pics) and play Vacuum it's what she wanted from Santa. Oh, my wife got me a reloader and years subscription to XBOX live (which I know she regrets now :lol8: ).
