I meant to post a Merry Christmas post on Christmas, but somehow it didn’t happen. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas though. I thought I’d share a few of our highlights from Christmas morning…
The first ornament of the morning, Captain America! Jason likes super heroes, and most of it is Spider-Man, so this year, we diversified a bit.
I loved watching The Price Is Right when I was a kid, and now I can play it! However, Jason and I discovered that the options for multiplayer are disappointing and lame, but that’s been status quo for many of the goofy games I like to play. If they put a quarter of the development effort into a game like this that they put into your standard first person shooter, I’d be so set. Also, more real prizes.
If you don’t have PJ’s for the Cure, an initiative from JDRF, you should totally get some! They should really make the dinosaur ones for women though because I’d be all over that if they came in my size. It’s also disappointing that they don’t have men’s sizes. I can grudgingly understand not offering the dinosaur ones to women, even though I disagree, but to not have men’s sizes isn’t right.
Jason can sing along with the Mr. Plow song that the ornament plays. My man has far too much Simpson’s knowledge taking up valuable mental real estate.
I am perpetually cold from October to April or May, so I heart fleece from tips of my frozen toes to the tip of my constantly runny nose.
For being childfree, there are a surprising number of toys under our tree every year.
I love my Christmas ornaments, and we’re big fans of the Hallmark ones. This was the first of 4 or 5 that I got, a Winnie the Pooh one that you can wind up to play music.
My Greatest American Hero!
I admit, Barbie may be a questionable role model for little girls with her DD boobage and pencil thin waist, but I played with Barbie dolls for years, so I’m still very fond of her, and I like collecting the dolls and the ornaments.
Our niece has very nice taste in clothes for only being 20 months old! A sweater, t-shirt and socks for Uncle Jason, and a pretty scarf-mitten set for Aunt Lee Lee!
…plus, some original artwork! Beautiful drawing from beautiful Juni!
An actual smile from Mr. Crankypants. Jason looks exceptionally miserable in most of the pictures I took of him, although to be fair, he wasn’t feeling awesome that morning. I was glad to get a real smile out of him.
One of those crazy frames with changing pictures! Of course, it’ll probably be a reptile slide show.
The second Winnie the Pooh ornament i got with my very favorite pooh character, Eeyore. Jason never gets tired of joking that our Christmas tree is covered with Pooh.
When I was like 5 and 6 years old, Underoos were the rage, and I was sad I never got any because I loved Wonder Woman, and Wonder Woman Underoos would have been perfect for running around the house pretending I was her. Ordinarily, were I to get undies for a gift, I wouldn’t post it online like this, but these are like the Underoos I never had, and I can’t help but share my delight. I’ll spare you the running around the house, spinning in circles bit though.
Gotta support the team.
What’s not to love about a Webkinz iguana?? Don’t knock Webkinz until you’ve tried it! He also got me a stuffed Toystory Rex, my most favoritest neurotic dinosaur, and a Christmas Eeyore to add to my collection.
This is the unwrapping of the Dexter bobblehead. I never really understood the appeal of bobbleheads, but Jason loves ‘em. I also meant to get him a Dexter action figure, but somehow I didn’t complete the transaction when I was ordering it, which I didn’t figure out until I was wondering why it hadn’t arrived on Christmas Eve. I know he really wanted it, so I told him that I had screwed up. Then he said something like, “So I guess I didn’t get the bobblehead either, huh?” Well, I had ordered that on ebay earlier this month, but I wasn’t about to tell him that, so I was like, “Ya, sorry, the Showtime site said they were out of stock.” That was actualy true though which is why I ordered it on ebay instead. Anyhoo, he was surprised.
That looked like an awesome Christmas! Merry Christmas to you both and let’s kill some zombies together soon k?

Cool – sounds like you had a great Christmas. Rels started coming over waytooearly after our 3AM arrival and 5AM bedtime, so I spent most of the time they were there trying to get something like breakfast and to put the homemade Christmas cookies out, separating out the real-sugar ones from the Splenda ones.
