Recommended Posts

my brother gave me one of his photo prints, so awesome. I can't even really explain what he's doing to make the photos, but its awesome as fuck.

Natalie and I bought ourselves an eliptical, that was our gift to each other. her mom framed two prints for me and got my a brewers shirt she saw randomly in WV. funny, haha.

I'm one of those spoiled kids.

Wife: Daniel Johnston art book, domain for a personal music site I'm starting (one I was going to get was taken and i needed to find a replacement and she did it for me so I wouldn't put it off too long), awesome Lemuria log lady hoodie, and a Johnny Cash biography in graphic novel form that's fucking boss.

Folks: 3 killing joke lp's, two hardback collections of C.S. Lewis' theology essays, a bunch of novels, lots of candy, Halo ODST, a Fountains of Wayne dvd, a nice sweater, and a new pair of headphones.

Mema (grandmother): 100 bucks in assorted restaurant giftcards and the 2010 Writers Market book, which lists publisher submission guidelines, pay schedules and want kind of work they'll except. Since I'm going to try to do more free lance writing this year I'm really stoked.

Brother and his girlfriend: Firefly on blu ray, Sunn/Boris Alters boxset, and a War of the Worlds journal made from a old copy of the novel.

Inlaws who normally are awful but were really fun and awesome to be around this season: queen size blanket made from insanely soft fabric, assorted giftcards, rapidograph technical drawing pen and sketchbook, cat scratcher box for my cats, movie money, and a bunch of candy.

My little sister also drew the wife and I an awesome Christmas card.

This site has been super helpful to me in finding out where to send my writing. Good luck, dude.

Jesus loki! You got a pretty sick haul!

My family really goes all out for Christmas. My mom grew up dirt poor and now that she makes a comfortable living she's made our Christmases like the ones she wanted growing up. Granted she buys stuff all year to spread the cost out a lot, but still I've always been really lucky to have the family that I've got. My folks still love each other, we don't really want for anything, and married life has treated me well. Outside of not being able to find a full time job my life is incredibly blessed right now.

my sister wins for most spoiled, though.

she got a million 'smaller' things like clothes & dvds, but in addition she got a canon high def video camera (with extras of everything and all accessories) and a bracelet from tiffanys from her fiance (to match the necklace he already got her), and a nikon D3000 digital slr from my parents (with accessories from me).
