And so this is Christmas...

If your family is like mine, there is always the early morning (or in today's case, mid-afternoon) opening of presents and then a few hours with nothing to do before dinner. So what do we do? We turn on A&E and watch Cold Case Files about people who were murdered and then the investigators who solve the crime several years later. A lovely Christmas television viewing.

Because I know everyone wants to know what I got for Christmas this year, here's the list:

1. Money
   
2. A bunch of gift cards to various stores
   
3. Plaid Pajama Pants
4. Button-up from AE
5. Batman: The Dark Knight DVD
6. Flip-through booklet with baby pictures of my niece
7. A Homemade Christmas Ornament
8. Other clothes
9. 5 Taco Bell Bucks
10. And of course...the Christmas 2008 Hess Truck, which I've got every year since I was born

As I list all of this stuff, I feel even worse about not getting anyone anything.

As a side note, I think it may be the case that lasagna is the greatest microwavable food ever. I just had a monstrous plate of it, and although some things taste worse after microwaving, it almost seems like lasagna tastes better after you microwave it. Freaking delicious. Garfield knew what he was talking about.
