Just finished up the exchanging of gifts with the family. We had Anthony on Skype so he could partake as well. Still amazes me the communication tools we have at hand.
Everybody seemed to enjoy what I had gotten them. I had a Wal-Mart gift card sent to Ant (I think that’s the only store down in Florida where he lives), an espresso maker and a sauce pan for my dad, a Macy’s gift card for my mom, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Halo Anniversary for Frank.
My dad thought that the espresso machine was a really big purchase, but I calmed him down when I told him how cheap I got it on Black Friday at Target. He proclaimed me the greatest shopper ever.
I also got Elvis the Dog a holiday platter which he went crazy over. It was the duck one and he went for the dinner roll first, then the corn on the cob.
I got some pretty cool stuff from the family this year too:
- Nike+ SportWatch GPS
- NorthFace Bionic Jacket
- Coleman Portable Electronics Charger
- sling chair
- snow shovel
- socks (3 heavy pairs)
All in all a fine exchanging of gifts. With no crazy stressful fights or anything like that.
