More Merry Christmas

My brother finally has a good paying job...and apparently he and his wife went insane. They spent way too much on me.

Highlight gifts - manga (at least a half dozen books curtesy of brother), gemstone jewelry all made by dad, food processor and bread maker, a malachite and bone 'letter opener' (i'm thinking athame), and a cashmere sweater with an antique lace under shirt, very pretty.


hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

They might have gone insane and spent way too much, but it all sounds wonderful. I hope you're having a merry Christmas/Christmas Eve.

5.11pm, my grandparents just arrived. Boxing Day is actually the bigger day, my uncle is getting here LATE tonight (midnight-ish), and we have the big lunch and hats etc tomorrow.

Good luck with the family tomorrow -- will be thinking of you!

Well crap, I'm jealous. We didn't do family gifts for Xmas at all this year, but I know I'm getting something good for my birthday next week because I picked it out myself. Whee.

*giggles at your feet.*

well cool. My family can't NOT do gifts. it's like a sickness. we drop a few hundred on each of us every year.

those your toes in the icon? tabi socks, those would be cool

Yes, those are my feet. I'm waiting for my supplier to have something besides ugly men's socks in the larger unisex sizes, and then you will get tabi socks of your very own. If you can fit in a 25 cm. sock size, though, tell me. 25 cm. is a perfect fit for my size-8 foot, with maybe a little stretch room for a size 9.

Mine's just starting to take off.

I introduced my brother to the Miles Vorkosigan books, so I feel my job as secret Santa is done, and dinner awaits. I'm doing well.

Hope your day is wonderful as well.
