It was a light Christmas for me this year- got mostly gift certificates (which I honestly HATE! I shop for work, then stress myself out shopping for my son, and I hate shopping, so they kind of really piss me off...) But for CD's I got:

FinnTroll- NattFodd
Volbeat- Rock the Rebel/Metal The Devil
Gojira- To Mars from Sirus

Some cash
Hair Dye (red, purple and blue)
A DVD and book on how to play guitar
Nip/Tuck Season 4
Candles and holders
Chain Maille necklace

And that's about it.

Got 'Visions From the Enchanted Lands', the Rhapsody DVD. Not having any of the albums, it's a fantastic teaser to make me go out and buy all their stuff - and it was neat-o to see Empress and SwordLord on the first DVD

I also got 900 bucks towards a new guitar amplifier. Time to upgrade that GFX-65 Crate I've had for way too long ... if only I knew what to get. Hmmmmmm..... suggestions, anyone?

• Money from my mom for both birthday & Christmas along with candles and other random items
• A candle and money from my aunt.
• Way too much stuff from my fiance's family including sweaters, pajamas, Christmas ornaments, & giftcards to Borders, Dunkin Donuts & one general Visa card and also a combined gift for Hibachi (Japanese restaurant in Saratoga)
• Spamlot tickets and an Invader Zim shirt fashioned to look like Space Invaders from my fiance
• A fiance (asked on my birthday though his original intention was going to be to ask on Christmas)

Congrats!!!!

We got: a hard time from United. Anyone seen our luggage?
lost package from Amazon. I quit!

But otherwise, I got a lot of really nice stuff and feel quite spoiled. We're at Jeremy's folks this year and they're really taking good care of us (especially as we arrived with only the clothes on our back).

I am, however, reconsidering traveling west for Christmas. As in, I may never do it again. This is the second trip we've had problems with.

 

[Cheiron]

My luggage was lost. For a few hours. Luckily I was close enough to the airport to get it back.

I asked for no metal, so got no metal. =p
