Merry Christmas, Matt! Santa has been busy already - my mom gave me a $50 gift card to Game Stop, which was very thoughtful of her, even if it's not the game store I shop at and I will happily spend it anyway. Also $30 in quarters for laundry money (I think she was trying to tell me something there, lol), and  $25 gift card to my favorite Thai place. And my secret santa at work gave me a Lifesavers sweet storybook, a treat for Beau, a gift card to Bull Moose Music (locally owned chain of indy music/movie/game/book stores), and a Star Wars Kinder Egg. One of my favorire customers gave me a lavender-scented pillow, a reusable shopping bag, and a really cool journal.

I have some grievances to air.

I'm not looking for anything. I've got nothing I really need except for a career, and who's going to give me that. No one. But, it'll be fun giving the simple gifts I got for family tomorrow.

I wish you a hairy chestwig and merry Yaksmas. 

And Merry Christmas to you sir! Santa was good to me and I think I might make a trip to the favorite mom and pop shop for more music
