Have a holly, jolly Christmas!

Well I woke up around 8:00 this morning and we opened presents to the sounds of the Rat Pack singing Christmas tunes. We then had cinnamon rolls (thanks Gates family) along with scrambled eggs. My mom had made toffee the night before and I swear it tastes better a day aged.

My Christmas bounty list

• Three shirts and a pair of pants from Banana Republic.
• A Kenneth Cole: Reaction black jacket.
• Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones (Widescreen) DVD.
• Michael Crichton. Prey.
• A nice little check from my grandparents.
• Best Buy gift card (just in time for tomorrow’s sale).
• Más clothes, including a Gap button-up shirt and a cotton long-sleeve shirt.
• Lots of other great stuff that is too numerous to mention.

By the way, I think the funniest thing of the morning was watching my dog, Blizzard, chase her new toy, a mallard duck squeaky toy that has fake fur on its back. The duck even sounds like a real duck when it squeaks.

Thanks to everyone and merry Christmas!
