This is the year that I rejoined my family for exchanging gifts. How that came to be, both me stop giving gifts and also me starting up, are both a long story, but we can make it short. The latter is easier, my dad asked me to start again and, well, after what I wrote, I said yes. The former is less easy, but it came down to someone giving me an ultimatum: give presents that cost more (as opposed to homemade gifts) or stop getting gifts. So, I stopped giving and getting gifts really about five years ago or so. But, that changed. And it was actually nice.

I kind of ran out of money to get gifts for my mother, so I painted her two watercolor paintings (bet you didn't know I painted too) and wrote her a poem. To my surprise, she actually started to cry from it, so I think I gave the perfect gift.

I got a bunch of games too, three Xbox 360 ones, two PS3 ones, and one PS2 one. Great, except that I don't have a Xbox 360 yet. :) Well, unlike Anton Strout and love, when encountering a game for a system I don't have, I"ll just pick up the new system. Actually, I can understand why they don't want to do that, but I wanted an Xbox 360 for a while now, just never got one. Now I have three excuses.

But, lovely presents aside, it was really nice talking to my brother for a couple hours, then just spending the day with my mother, step-father, my brother, and his wife. It was, just nice connecting with people and being family. I wish the same and the best of holidays for everyone this year.

Blessed Be.
