I'm going to skip my usual rant about the Christmas season and go straight to the part where I talk about all the fun material goods I acquired.
Oodles and oodles of chocolate and candy, firstly, which is never a bad thing. Plus some movies, season 2.0 of Battlestar Galactica, some nail clippers, some desk calendars, and some games for Xbox 360.
