I asked everyone to keep things basic and simple for me this year. I got a rather, um,
festive insulated travel mug from my sister. Did I mention it was
FESTIVE?

On a more serious note, she did give my wife and me a gift certificate to our favorite local kitchen store.
In terms of really cool stuff, I recently found a 1/6 scale doll that has been on my grail list for a couple of years. Thanks to my mom and grandparents-in-law (is that even the correct term?), I have the money to get it. Now I just have to get over the
"I'm going to spend HOW MUCH for this thing?" feeling and do it.
