Merry Christmas

Well, I’m posting this nearly a week late but I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas 🙂 Nothing spectacular under the tree for Sloanie this year– just some shirts and stuff. That’s the problem with buying your own toys– you outgrow your parents spending limits and it makes Christmas morning less exciting than it used to be. Oh well– that’s what it is to get old, I guess. I didn’t really mind not getting any toys for Christmas, I like Christmas more for the fond memories and the warm cheer and fun time spent with the family– getting presents for other people and enjoying magic of Christmas.

Marianne did get a cool toy for Christmas from Jesse (it’s not unlikely that he was more excited about it than her, but she’s pretty pumped about it now, hehe). He gave her a new Pocket PC– they used to seem like the geekiest things, and ultimately they probably do still have a pretty good geekability factor, but they’re small and sleek enough now to seem more cool and less nerdy. Needless to say I’ve been fighting the PDA idea for years and Mar’s Pocket PC may have finally convinced me of how handy and cool they can be. We see how long I hold out before buying one…

Anyways, again– hope everyone had a good one!
