Mwee!

Christmas is becomming less and less of a "glee!" experience as I get older, but this year was pretty good, irregardless.

Me and Dad snuck out a few days ago and bought my mom a new sewing machine. She was very pleased with it. I'm happy. And relieved. Especially since her initial reaction to the huge box was something akin to 0_o.

Got Dad some socks and two new beanies. Those damn beanies are so hard to find. He likes the knit ones, round not square, and they hardly make them anymore. He only wants little things, but we always end up going all over town to find them.

The parental units were great. Got me some gloves (warm as all get out!) and a raven torc! Soooo shiny. Heavy, but shiny. I are a happy Kiff. Oh! And a gift certificate to the Comic Cellar. Mom jokingly said that I'd be living there for the next week. If she only knew how true that statement is... Muahahah!

I hope your respective holidays were wonderflous.

Pretty much sums it up for me, too, but then I was never much of a holiday person aside from being rather fond of the food/crazy relatives/stuff part. XD

Glad to hear it went like awesome!

I am also for food.

Except that, this year, the Swedish was in full swing, and buddy, you ain't ran till you'vfe run away from someone offering you cured salmon and hot mustard. XD

...how much of a freak am I that that actually sounds interesting? :D

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

That actually sounds quite yummy.

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Both of you, noooo!

The Swedes have gotten to you, too!

Actually, the Irish are ganging up on me lately.

"And then we chased out the Irish, which was the style at the time..."

Here in New Scotland, Celtic revival is a big thing. However, Celtic seems to equal Irish to this people. WTF I AM NOT IRISH STOP TOUCHING ME.
Scots! Scots! Manx, even! Not Irish!

So yeah, recently been convinced to try things like smoked salmon and mussels and whatnot.

I know exactly how that is. With each year it becomes more of family obligation than a joyous occasion.

I'm glad you got things you liked. :)

[kiffie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I guess this kinda stuff is fun when you're little because you're fairly oblivious to a lot of things. Then you get older and you have to worry about stuff that you never had to before. Argh.

How did you make out this year? Lots o' stuff? =D

[wheresbed.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I rather be oblivious, thank you very much.

Actually, we don't usually do the whole gift exchanging thing. It's just, "here, have some money and buy whatever you want."
