When I was a kid, it was almost more exciting that Christmas day-- we'd go to the grandparents house, and there'd be literally hundreds of packages everywhere. you couldn't walk across the room. If by chance there were outsiders in attendance, they'd be shocked that a family of 6 could wrap so much... and each year we'd up the number. I remember getting a my first trip to NYC in 1995... a sabres jersey (#89 mogilny) in 1989. there was a cabbage patch kid in 1984. It was always a picture perfect commercialized Christmas.

anyway, yada yada yada... basically I'm getting nostalgic for the Christmas I never had.

Also, Presley and I exchanged gifts tonight... and she bought me this amazing book retrospective of RayGun Magazine, possibly the best written and best designed music rag ever. Also, cause I get two presents... she bought me 3 harry potter action figures: quidditch harry, ron, & malfoy. (fucking malfoy) I can't decide whether I want to play with them, or keep them in their packaging... oh and for my birthday, Pres got me this old framed poster advertisement... something about cold remedies. I will have to study it more when I get back to the city. Thanks sweeties! (too much AbFab)

Also, Jeffy and Jules.... where are you? I hear you are home for the holidays...

<3 you all, happy stuff.
