In which there is an itemized list. And reindeer. And a puppy.

First of all, reindeer:

Second of all, I received the following items for Christmas this year:

– guinea pig plush toy, small
– candles (2)
– baskets, organizational/decorative (2)
– hat, crocheted
– gloves, knit
– mittens, wool, knit, lined with fleece
– $50
– Starbucks gift card ($15)
– notebook, small, decorative/portable
– gum, a whole bunch, in a tin box
– jewelry (earrings & necklace set)
– flashlight, pink, small
– chocolate (Hershey’s kiss, large)
– jacket (decorative, Indian)
– photo, framed (feat. self with mom and bro)
– mug (Disney, feat. evil characters like Cruella)
– shoes (stripper-style, feat. heels)
– Kindle

I gave everyone on my list socks, lucky Happy Cat tea cups from Japan, portable chopsticks, and/or makeup, depending on who they were, except my brother, to whom I gave a sweatshirt that did not fit and which has to be returned. I did not mail out Christmas cards because I just didn’t get my shit together on time.

For visual aids, view my Christmas 2009 photo set. And in particular, view this, my aunt’s adorable new puppy:

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope your celebration of the day was mellow and comfortable and not fraught with weirdness!
