I received no gifts today and only three overall: my father presented me with a $10 giftcard to Borders (he knows me so well), and
netmouse and
sarahmichigan both sent me books of stamps (hooray!).
The only person I gave anything to was
lameautarch: I treated him to an opening-weekend showing of
Avatar at the local IMAX theater. (The ticket prices were well worth the effects; however, we should have eaten beforehand instead of paying through the absolute nose for snacks.)
Last night, he took me to spend Christmas Eve with his extended family. Nice (if sometimes silly) conversation, lovely food, good company.
I am thankful for my family and friends. Without their support and love, I don't know where I would be. I thank every one of you for being in my life.
