Yeah, good day yesterday. Food was great (prawns, oysters, turkey, veggies, pudding!), the mood was great, very happy day. But Christmas always is for me, so that's OK. Especially when it's only Dad, Mum, sister and I. I like small Christmases more than large ones.

As to my loot, the haul was smaller this year, but one I enjoyed a lot more. I got three of books (including The Road, at last!, as well as Breath by Tim Winton and Bleak House by Dickens), a The Church CD, portable radio (because I wanted one), new boardshorts, couple of T-Shirts (Ramones and Skids designs), case for my iPod dock that I got for my birthday earlier in the year, a cool clock that's in the style of a pocketwatch though really acts like a bedside clock, and an awesome red and silver globe, which I reckon is the best gift I've ever got. It's amazing, love it so much. Oh, and some cash, so I'm finally back in the money, and may delay my search for getting a job for the time being.

And yes, that's right, no BIONICLE or LEGO. Which means, that through choice, I have gone a full year without getting any LEGO or BIONICLE sets. I feel really proud of myself. So yeah, really great Christmas.

OK, only a few days left of this decade, how awful is that?
