Merry Christmas!

(Now go be with your families :) )

Update: The Haul!

• Down comforter w/duvet & matching pillow
• Skates
• Wallet
• Sweater + underwear
• Frying pan & flipper + student's cookbook
• Electric toothbrush

Noticably absent (and also the most expensive): Aeron chair & iPod :). The problem with giving your family a detailed wish list is that you might actually get what you wish for! Like a down comforter which is more for your girlfriend than for yourself. But now I can pass my old comforter on to John who sleeps with one of those military issue beige blankets that he stole from Grebel. With a nice blanket I believe I'll now be forced to spring for a box spring, frame, and a bedside table.

This year my family went to Gord's where my favorite employee gave my sisters and Mom North Face gloves courtesy of 'my account'. While this certainly lowers my shopping stress it does remove some of the element of surprise :).

Dani gave my mom a mini 4" purple lobster for her aquarium. I'll post a picture later. From my mom Dani got a Marchand Rd sign. See, she had stolen one after we had moved but it has since gone missing at the new house.

I also have no idea how I'm going to get all my presents home since they're all very large. In hindsight I should have driven home!
