Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful time.
I had a fairly small Christmas with the family. Lots of unexpected bills hit over the last month for each of us, but I'm the living embodiment of the spirit of Christmas and all we really care about is getting together for some time together.
Present wise is always a score. I got some sweet squid socks, a light/magnifying glass for model building, some fiction books, a new ipod (actually some kind of different version, but I'm at war with apple currently.) rechargeable batteries and the new model for my all time favorite warhammer character. (Gotrek the slayer because I know everyones dying to ask. #NerdProud!) Every year we also get the new holiday lego set, this years a gingerbread house/family. It's technically a gift to the family, that in practice is given to my mum and then build by me. But I built it, there fore I count it as a gift to me. Sounds fair.
The main present people got me is a bunch of rocks, fossils, some art prints, foreign coins and other random stuff to add to my curio cabinet. (I have dreams of a full cabinet of curiosity one day.) I am one bad day away from turning for a wise collector to a full blown hoarder. Although the stuff isn't really random. The rocks are actually small samples of stuff like petrified wood or BC jade. My mum got me a big fossilized mosasaurus tooth, and my dad got me a shark tooth.
