merry christmas, happy hanukkah, and happy new year, everyone! i'm off all this week so you may not hear much from me, but i wanted to wish everyone a bit of good cheer. my christmases went well-- quiet at my parents' house with lots of books, movies, and cool small gifts to go around. there seemed to be an entertainment theme going on... i think everyone was happy with santa's tidings. christmas at heather's house was fun too-- heather and her mom conspired to make sure that i had lots of presents to open. among the collective booty:
1) a digital camera (yay!)
2) a fondue set
3) a quillow and matching pillows in green frog and soccer print
4) dvds of ocean's 11, the usual suspects, finding nemo, and eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
5) a toaster
6) entertainment value at amc, chevy's, chili's, planet granite, rei, and aqui. woo hoo!
7) a bevy of books i've been wanting
8) flannel sheets x2
9) froggy stuff!
10) camping/hiking stuff

and other things too. it was a good christmas on the presents front. :) also TONS of great food, complete with leftovers. i hope everyone continues to enjoy the holiday season, food, gifts, and joy. :)
