[Red Dolphin]

Many of you have received thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stuff! Do you have hundreds of relatives or something or you are just exceedingly rich? I consider myself pretty well off (well my family) and I didn't get anywhere near the stuff you guys got

Anyway the list:

Clothes
Car floor mats
Matrix 10 Disk Box Set
Alien Quadrilogy
Gingerbread house (ROCK!)

That's about it...

Malley, who got you 6 suits? It's tough to buy something like that as a gift, because you've really got to try them on first, plus if they're nice suits 6 would cost an insane amount. Nice gift though

This being the first time in many, many years that I offered up any suggestions beyond my usually preferred cash/gift cards, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my family got me the three items I mentioned along with a few other nice things. Apparently, it does pay to actually convey thoughts to others around this time of year.

A nice big Hamilton Beach grill
Battle of Algiers: Criterion DVD
Good winter gloves
Some shirts (one of which I'll probably exchange)
A couple of gift cards
Candy and whatnot

Christmas JUST ended for me now. That's the fun of having divorced and re-married parents. All in all I had 3 seperate dinners with (a combined) no less than 14 relatives. Pretty much everyone in my family who didn't get me a DVD gave me gift certificates (mainly for movie theatres or clothing stores) or cheques. The majority of this stuff was from my parents and brother:

Add another $75 to my previous cash total and that finally closes out my Xmas receiving this year. All in all, not so bad.
