Done with engines- I mean Christmas
Dec. 25th, 2010 05:52 pmThis year's XMas haul;
* Douglas Adams Live in Concert (reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) CD
* Ray Stevens 3-CD compilation "Box Set" (too many preachy/sappy/teabagger songs, alas)
* 2 pairs jeans
* 1 sweater
* 2 button-up long sleeve shirts
* $25 gift certificate at Best Buy
Aaaaand that's it. Oddly and disturbing, it appears that I was the member of my family best able to buy presents this year. We're all pretty much broke.
I'd intended to bring my laptop with me to Aunt Diana's for Christmas, since I usually spend most of the time there bored out of my mind. I left it by my desk, though- after loading up a thumb drive with all sorts of stuff that needs working on- so nothing got done and I was STILL bored out of my mind.
It was good to see people getting the presents, though. Some were appreciated, some not (two younger cousins loved Zombie Dice- a game I can take or leave alone myself- but two others didn't even give Fluxx a second look).
Bear in mind this: I like Christmas Day quite a lot. Christmas is generally fun. But I can really do without the four weeks before when all you hear on the radio are the same thirty Christmas songs, all you see on TV are the same stories in movie, special, or Very Special Episode Of format, and all you see at the stores are idiots who block the aisle trying to figure out what they're looking for... what town they're in... what planet they're on...
So, yeah. Merry Christmas. And Merry It's-Not-Christmas-Anymore.
