I can’t tell you how glad I am to not be going out amongst the eager return-the-presents-we-don’t-want crowds. Eesh. We had my dad over both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, gave him the first season of Star Trek, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Jon gave me U2 by U2 and the new Dragonquest Heroes: Rocket Slime game for DS. He had a very video game-y Christmas, with the Wii, Final Fantasy III for DS (from my dad) and Final Fantasy V for GBA (from me), as well as a tshirt showing the evolution of Nintendo controllers from NES to Wii. <3 (Pop had to give me a raincheck on my present, but it will be Earth, a geology degree packaged in a beautiful, gigantic DK book.)

It’s nothing but lovely gale winds and driving rain out here in sunny Lake Shastina today. :P
