I had my entire family over for Christmas dinner - 100% attendance - a splendid time was had by all! I can tell you it doesn't get any better than that!

 I gave out this by request I shipped off about a dozen packages of individually chosen assortment---that was a gift in itself! I got privacy to write copiously and spent hours and hours writing back and forth to wonderful friends. I'm sharing  and have (here's half, the run; the rest are odds n ends from PM/IF)  and my next door neighbor gave me  and I got to make a surprise of this dress & spent the weekend alone with  and we each got a  !!! and the latest 3 Spider-Man comics. Not to mention Alan Moore and Scott McCloud (those will bear reading and re-reading, thanks Hanzo!) I got Battling the Sun by Astra Kelly, Earthbound by Endoxi, and Breaker Breaker My Heart by Citizen Band last month, but I counted them in.

Iron Maiden - "Powerslave" CD
Iron Maiden - "Rock In Rio" DVD
Todd Snider - "Near Truths And Hotel Rooms Live" CD
Books...
"Kate Bush: Under The Ivy" by Graeme Thomson
"The War For Late Night" by Bill Carter
"Sleepwalk With Me" by Mike Birbiglia (finished it this morning - funny, easy read, and his comic voice stays true)
"Contents Under Pressure: 30 Years Of Rush At Home And Away" by Martin Popoff
Some good candy, some gift cards, some cash, a set of Paul Reed Smith pens (apparently didn't drop a big enough hint about the GUITARS). And we bought an iPad for my wife, my son and myself - my wife's idea to do it while she's still getting severance from the old job in case she gets a job before next Christmas that doesn't pay as well.
Also had all the various family together at various times, and the storm went to the east, so a nice holiday!

I'd like an iPad but I might as well wait till April for the next generation (with camera).
It'll look nice in my new kitchen when that project is completed.

I got some Elvis trading cards, the "Little Box Of Butters" South Park DVD's, a GPS, and there's apparently another mysterious gift coming my way that just hasn't been delivered yet. I also got a Bluetooth, but I don't talk on the phone very much and I'm not sure I'll ever want to be caught dead walking around talking into one of those things.

It'll look nice in my new kitchen when that project is completed. Yeah - the rumors picked up about a week after we decided to go ahead and order it, but all in all, the cameras weren't a deal-breaker for us. At least not yet! Alan
