Christmas brought:
A scanner (so I can scan in those hundreds of photos I have of my ancestors)
4 pairs of pajamas (I did need them)
Benny & Joon DVD (have to buy a DVD player in the new year, I gave mine away to my Dad as a present. He wanted one, and mine was new but didn't do what I needed it to do.)
Socks
De-icing Scraper Mitt
A healthy amount of books (finished one of them already)
A box of Thorntons Continental
A Chocolate Orange (it isn't Christmas without one)
A huge plant pot, compost and seeds
Beads
Waterstones vouchers (hurrah more books)
A cardy (not sure about it but have the receipt)
A Pink Adidas Beanie hat (?)
A calendar
Some Oil of Ulay bath stuff (the secret santa pressie)
A little teddy bear bag (?)

Christmas Day was okay, my Christmas Dinner was fantastic though I do say so myself. I managed to convert Jo (the girl I worked with) into liking parsnips with my parsnips roasted in parmesan, she went back for seconds, depriving my of my midnight munchies. I'll let her off though as while I was cooking the meal she got one of the clients to help her wash all our cars. The clients were a little confused by our early tea, it messed up their routine, so by 7:30 two of them had taken themselves off to bed and the 3rd was yawning his head off so I had a very quiet night.

Boxing Day I got home at about 9am and went straight to bed. I woke at about 2pm and we opened our presents then I spent the rest of the day on the sofa reading, it was lovely.

Christmas has also brought the discovery of Last.fm I know it's been around for ages, but I never seemed to get around to signing up. Now I have it's kick started my obsession with ID3 tags again. I'd only just managed to break the habit, but Last.fm won't display the tracks unless the tags are correct so my obsession is back in full swing. If anyone is interested my profile is bilblio let me know if you have an account on there so I can add some friends, I feel all lonely at the moment.

Finally thankyou to everyone who sent me Merry Christmas text messages. I felt so rude not replying but I was out of phone credit. Which reminds me I still need to top it up.
