Christmas this year was pretty low key. So much of the family had moved, passed away or just alienated themselves the past few years. But less people did mean much less drama, so that’s not such a bad thing I suppose.
Thanks to the magic of Skype, we were able to have my brother Anthony take part when we exchanged presents. The interent really has opened up some amazing communication possibilities, it was really cool.
Everybody seemed very pleased with what I’d gotten them, so that was great. It seems to get tougher every year to think of something to get my parents, feel like after so many years I’m starting to run out of possibilites at times.
Here’s a list of some of the really cool stuff I received:
- Lego Hoth Wampa cave
- mononucleosis (harmless this time!)
- Mass Effect 2
- Spectacular Spider-man volumes 6-8 on DVD
- Mario & Luigi radio controlled karts
- a few flannels and t-shirts
- Fraggle Rock Christmas DVD
- Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer DVD
