Much to my chagrin… Christmas Eve 2012 is officially here and it arrived with an early phone call from my sister to my parents - to see what time we would be getting together for Dinner and gift exchange.

I opted to skip out on dinner and reluctantly attended the gift exchange, just so I could see the expression on my family’s face when they saw some of the awesome things I got them.

Of all the gifts that got dolled out today, my Mom was possibly the most delighted when she got her hands on a new Gen 4 iPad.  She’s stoked by the screen and clarity of FaceTime.  Both her and my dad will be using it a lot to keep tabs on their new granddaughter.  

My niece made out with a number of goodies too.  I got her a number of gifts but the one she seemed to take a liking to was a Wabanub (toy on a binky) thats in the shape of a Giraffe. I also got her a Giraffe that plays little songs and soothing sounds… much to my surprise, it knocked her the hell out.

How did I do?  Well… lets just say that its better to give than to receive.

I’m glad this holiday is done.  I know many people out there, really get into the spirit but as far as I’m concerned -

Santa was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me.
