Christmas was pretty good to me this year...

My present to myself was my new Canon 24-70, f2.8 L lens. 



My girlfriend and her parents went a little nutty... they bought me an ionizing air purifier for the toy room.  A Campo Del Cielo Meteorite (something I was looking at getting for a while...) and a big heavy one at that!  Then there was the signed screen print of Vonnegut's Goodbye Blue Monday (#62 of 700):



They also picked me up a few Silver Boullion coins... a pair of Palahniuk books I didn't have.  The Lego UCS (Vader's) TIE Fighter.  A pair of leather gloves (OJ Style (except that they fit))... then there was also some cash, DVD's, and a few gift cards.  The cash is going to be used to frame the print and find a stand for the meteorite.

From my dad, there was the Gentle Giant Chewbacca bust and a vintage Max Rebo band set (getting close to finishing off that vintage collection...).  I've got some more family to open presents with tomorrow.  I think it will be mainly cash and giftcards from here on out.

My Christmas Haul this year included:

The History Channel's 5 Disk DVD Series "A Complete History of Britain"; over 15 hours of narration from humble beginnings to imperial ends

A brown T-Shirt (size small) with yellow words:   Haikus are easy / But sometimes they don't make sense / Refrigerator

A patterned woolen Chicago Bears scarf

A good year, to say the least.

Seeing as how I knocked out the majority of the my wants on my birthday this past November, I pulled a rather humble haul this year ...

Gift Cards (about $150 worth, combined)
Cash (about $150, combined)
Clothes (pants, house slippers, leather gloves, civilian Ushanka)
Assorted Trinkets (Coin counter, fan-pen-light-thingy)
Militaria (1980s USMC Overcoat, 1983(?) USAF Field Jacket, USMC Officer's Jacket, USMC Dress Jacket ... all of these from a retired Colonel with whom my mother shares a correspondence)
Music (Rosenstolz: Kassengift, Rosenstolz: Objekt der Begierde, Paris Combo)

Forthcoming...

New headphones, will probably be Sony.
Automobile, will probably be a Volvo S40.
