Ah, the joy of raking in Christmas loot. The best part? Some of the stuff people sent still hasn't come in yet. So Christmas keeps going on and on! Yay!

Swag count so far:
-fuzzy gloves
-real-live mittens, something I haven't had since I was about two and too uncoordinated to really care about being able to move my fingers
-an elephant good luck bracelet, and some nifty earings
-two pullover soft'n'fuzzy shirt/sweater thingies
-freaking awesome silk pajamas
-a "good luck frog" or "money frog" or whatever it's called-- three legs, coin in it's mouth, and freaking ugly, but I love it...
-candy!
-a Swiss Army Hat, coincidentally a hat that Tintin wears in his exploits and a hat that I have lusted after since the first grade
-a sweatshirt. Front caption: Napoleon World Tour [with a distressed pic of him on his rearing horse]

-On Writing by Steven King, which is now my all-time favorite book EVER


Here's hoping everyone out there had a Merry Christmas... and will have a Happy New Year. I know I will, what with mittens and gloves and my sweatshirt and my books...
