WHAT did you guys get? Tell me the

best thing you got

and the

most unexpected thing you got.



Christmas is always better with surprises. It's not about the giving and the getting; it's about the excitement in the process. It's in the wrapping and the hiding and the nervousness and the anxious, blissful anticipation.


I got a Wholphin/McSweeny's subscription, and also surprisingly some six packs of Ginger Ale and the 2-disc Superbad.


No alarm mornings, yum.

Here is a video. "Stairway to Heaven" sung backwards by a man greater than you or I will ever be....

I got 3 books from 3 people who are not my parents. I didn't ask for anything, so they were both the surprising and the best things. Oh, and I got a looot of cookies in the mail.
