so christmas was awesome this year! xD Annie cleared customs today, she should be home early next week! i got exactly what i wanted for christmas: the pink and crimson volumes of Andrew Lang's fairy tale compilations, a Mitzi Gaynor DVD with Bob Mackie costume featurette, white SD knee-high boots for Larxene, a stuffed Boo (which is awesome!), and LEGO BATMAN for the x-box. xD i love it so much. i think it may be the single best videogame.. ever! also a variety of hershey kisses (special dark, cocoa, andes mint, and caramel) were in my stocking with a 24 pack of watercolour pencils from JesusMike, and chocolate covered cherries from Kyu, because he knows it's not christmas without them.

we got Suzy a Cycle of the Werewolf hardcover (she lost her autographed copy due to the negligence of kyu's biological dad), a few paperbacks she'd been eyeing, and a new game for Kyu's old DS. she'd been wanting one, and he never played his anymore, so it got bequeathed. standard stocking chocolates were also given.

we got Wolfie a rap CD he's been looking for for about a decade, a Bobby Flay cookbook, and since he can't have sugar, beef jerky/ slim jim things for his share of the stocking. xD i taped them together, wrapped them, then coated the whole thing in clear tape, and we told him he couldn't use scissors at all. xD good times.

i got moose a Runaways (series 1- Alex is on it) poster and a pair of antlers. xD she got me nothing, for she is a poor, broke moose. xD

i got Roro the Complete Batman: the Animated Series, she got me the doll boots and she's also making stockings to go with them, which is awesome! xD i can't wait to get the outfit they'll go with most. i'm ordering it next weekend.

i got Kyu two PVC statues of Darkstalkers characters, a Morrigan, and a Lilith (the only other one in the series is a Felicia). he got me the Lang Fairytale books and the DVD.. both of which were totally "psst, you should buy me this!" presents xD i also put Reese's holiday peanut butter chocolate bell candies in his stocking, because he loves Reese's peanut butter cups, but won't eat them due to my allergy. xD i figured if i gave them to him, he'd indulge for once. standard stocking chocolates were also given.

i got Naku a DVD of all Wierd Al's music videos up through the Saga Begins, from a few years ago. it does not in fact include the video for White and Nerdy. she got me the boo plushie. which is soo cute! i keep mooshing it against my face. xD i am a ginormous Mario dork (though i prefer Luigi), and Boos are the best! Kyu got her the Hellboy Companion book, and she gave him a Superman S shield wristband, which he really likes. standard stocking chocolates were also given, with a BPRD logo (from Hellboy) tee and a selection of brown pencils for sketching. brown is one of her signature colours, and she's a great artist, so we were being encouraging. go us! xD

i got James a set of Oh My Goddess figures in their Battlesuits, which he's been looking for for ages. he gave me LEGO Batman. i adore it beyond words. Kyu got him a movie. i dunno what movie, something with John Woo? anyhow, he seemed to like it. xD he got Kyu the Complete Blue Seed anime. awesometastic! standard stocking chocolates were also given, along with a bottle of scald-your-face-off hot sauce and a tee shirt with a dragon design on it.

poor mom got nothing but the joy of spending time with us.. and watching Roro be goofy all hopped up on cold medication. xD don't feel bad for her though, she knows what she's getting for her birthday, and it is super awesome! xD

tonight Kyu and i head off to his grandpa's for Christmas 2! xD i'm trying to convince him to let me bring the XBox so i can play more LEGO Batman, but i still need to do some convincing. xD i really wish our second controller worked so we could do co-op play. xD when we get to that point, it shall be EPIC WIN!! xD i may buy myself a pretty rechargable other-coloured controller soon and let Kyu play with his standard boring one. i bought an off-brand one with a cord so i wouldn't have to deal with batteries at all, but it died before too long. i'll go with the real thing this time, i think.

i'm totally thinking of Annie as my biggest present, half from Kyu and half from myself, and for me Christmas won't be over until i've opened her. xD i do think LEGO Batman may just be almost as awesome though. ..i'll likely rescind that opinion once i have her and i'm all "SOOOOOO PRETTY!!!" xD *ker-flaky* at this point the impatience has dulled my thrill to the drgree that a game can catch up to it.. when she's here, i won't be impatient anymore, so she will likely eclipse my LEGO Batman high and reign supreme as the ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS GIFT! i just can't wait to hold my baby!! *ker-whine*
