Christmas has become a commercialized mess of consumerism

Money, DVDs, cards and a hug from a Genie.

Morrigoon · 12-26-2007, 12:19 AM

Crock Pot, Corningware, Nav system, Disney Treasures DVDs, Fondue pot and Garlic cookbook (few other items as well, but these were highlights)

All the Disney Treasures, a huge gift card from Itunes, clothes and a really sweet time with my little girl, with a restful day to kick up my feet.

Some Chanel #5 perfume, a WaterPik system, some gift cards, an X-Box 360 hardrive and stuff that Eric insists I will be happy I have now that I am immersed in the world of Oblivion*, a Green Day cd from Tori and a really, really cool handmade shotglass cabinet from my very talented brother -in-law Dave. (I have a truly kick-ass shotglass collection). Bunches of nice, thoughtful things this year which I appreciated very much, even though I have a horrid cold and feel like ****.

*This would be for the second X-Box- we have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. NOT my doing.

Nerf weapons for the office. All I really wanted.

But I also got the first season of Heroes on DVD. Didn't have the time to pick up another series during the week and I wanted see it. Will need season two as well when it comes out.

A bitchin' Lego truck, and a mouse that stopped working about 4 minutes after I plugged it in (hardware issue- doesn't work with any other computer in the house, either).

Two more Main Street Miniatures! Town Square and City Hall/Fire Station! A Bunch of board games (including one that my brother's friend developed!) Installation costs for a new microwave. (Got the new microwave money last year, but haven't gotten around to getting one yet). Some clothes. The newest expansion pack for Age of Empires. A cool calendar from photos my brother took in national parks around Washington State. And a metric buttload of candy.

Ooooh! And the Alice in Wonderland artwork from the Disneyland Hotel that NA and Euro got me last year is being framed. Can't wait to see it!

Digital photo frame for the office, A gift card good for a detailing of the Moonie-Mini-Van and....

The pièce de résistance: An old photo album that belonged to my Grandmother I had never seen which included two photos of yours truly visiting Disneyland round about age 5. Priceless!
