Merry Christmas!

To all of you who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! And it is a wonderful Christmas here in the DD household. My girlfriend and I have been very fortunate this year, so we were able to splurge just a little bit. And since we don't have any kids, we took advantage of the opportunity to splurge on ourselves. :)

If you wish to know what we bought this Christmas, read on. First, because they are pretty darn cheap right now, we bought ourselves a Nintendo GameCube. And then, we bought some games at good prices: Mario Party 7, Mario Golf, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Metroid Prime. And, because I had so much fun playing it when we had games afternoon at work, we bought a copy of Wario Ware on eBay. Also, for the both of us, we bought the second season of Party of Five on DVD.

This year, as we did last year, we filled each other's stockings, and we got each other a few bigger gifts. In my girlfriend's stocking, I put Pac-Man World 3 for PlayStation 2 (we already had Pac-Man World 2), a hippopotamus (a little one), a monkey, Post-its, a candy cane, some chocolate, a pair of gloves, a card, and a few other things. For the bigger gifts, I got her a nice shirt, a pail of popcorn, a pair of slippers, and a Jelly Belly Mini Bean Machine.

In my stocking, my girlfriend put guitar strings, new boxer shorts (as used ones would be gross), hand cream, shaving cream, razor blades, and some private stuff for the bedroom. For bigger gifts, she got me Civilization III for the PC (because Civ IV is out and Civ III is dirt cheap), a poker chip set (to satisfy my gambling addiction), Rocky (yes, the movie), and Styx Greatest Hits on CD. She doesn't want to ever watch Rocky, so she is making me watch it on the computer with headphones on. But, she was nice enough to let me play my Styx CD this morning. :)

Oh, I am so happy. And I think my girlfriend is happy. Take a look at this spread...

Now, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope things are great where you are. I will be back tomorrow for some more dancing celebration.
