Merry Christmas! Updated: December 26th, 2006 (RSS) This was the first Christmas in the new house and it was great. We (as usual) managed to stretch the Christmas holiday out across almost 5 days. MeLisa and I cheated and opened our presents to each other on Thursday the 21st... we spent Saturday with some of MeLisa's family (which was great because we pretty much just sat around playing with toys all afternoon).. Sunday night was spent with my parents (and we brought Tenchi so we could walk him through their neighborhood looking at the houses)... and yesterday (actual Christmas) was spent at my parent's house again with the whole family. And my haul was damn impressive. MeLisa bought me some golf gear so I can finally start playing. I got a bunch of great PS2 and PSP games. My parents bought me a heated carpet cleaner (white carpets? new puppy? yeah... good gift), and I got an electric hedge trimmer from my grandparents. Also got some great DVD's (Clerks II and Firefly) and a book for training Tenchi (Cesar's Way). All in all, it was an excellent holiday and it was really nice getting to spend so much time with our families. Merry Christmas everyone!
