Presenting the Presents

[vovat]

At bethje's house today, some of her relatives came over for Christmas dinner, which consisted of ham, lasagna, and some other stuff. No turkey or goose, though. A little later, we opened our presents, which is never really a communal activity these days. The items I got were:

• Two shirts
  
• Two sweaters
  
• A pair of khaki pants
  
• Denny's and Applebee's gift cards (the latter for me to share with Beth)
  
• A Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer mug
  
• An orange, a banana, an apple, some chocolates, Kool-Aid, and Goldfish crackers
  
• The Space Quest collection
  
• Sacrifice, the second volume of Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze
  
• Because I can't get enough of Shanower drawings, The Rundelstone of Oz, which he illustrated
  
• The Streets of Ankh-Morpork, the first of the Discworld Mapps, and I believe the only one I didn't yet own
  
• The DS version of Chrono Trigger, which includes a poster
  
• Separated by Birth, the first album by Vermillion Lies
  
• Noble Hatch, by Amy Miles
  
• I'm Lonely (and I Love It), by Future Bible Heroes
  
• Coat of Many Cupboards, the XTC box set
  
• A DVD of Labyrinth
  

I'm still not sure when I'm going to exchange presents with my own family. I sent a present to my dad, and went in with my siblings on something for my mom, but I have yet to give anything to my siblings themselves.

Weird. I thought of "Labyrinth" today when I was watching "The Snowman." He introduces the thing, and then the first animal you see is barn owl... And this was three years before he performed as Jareth...

I think all of the first-run copies come with the posters. Which means you should go ahead and get it as soon as possible, or maybe just wait until people start selling the posters separately on eBay.

I know! I feel kind of bad that I didn't get Beth as much as she got me, but she IS making more money right now.

Yeah, they're pretty cool. I just discovered them when they opened for Amanda Palmer at a show last month.
