Well, when it comes to the "I got even less than you!" game, I fear I just can't beat DnE!!
Still, Santa pretty much skipped me this year... On the other hand, I got more than I expected.
Yesterday, I used the gift certificate I had gotten for the electronics store. I had expected to buy a bunch of CDs and maybe a DVD or two, but it went the other direction! I got:
- Dark Funeral's "Angelus Exuro pro Eternus" as the limited CD+Live-DVD Slipcase (20 Euros - phew!)
- Gran Torino on DVD (5 Euros)
- Cloverfield limited steelbook (10 Euros)
- Jumper limited steelbook (10 Euros)
- The Incredible Hulk limited 2 DVD first edition steelbook with uncut US version* (8 Euros)
- Hellboy II - The Golden Army limited first edition boxset with 2DVD steelbook and Golden Army action figure (18 Euros)
In sum 71 Euros, so it should have been the gift card + 1 Euro (well, 94 cents).
Instead, it was 60,95 Euros!
Turns out the cashier had forgotten to scan Jumper!
You might say the movie
teleported itself into my stash, nyargh, nyargh!
So now I have 9,05 euros left on the card!
Second Christmas present is a card from Sarah!!
But since she sent it to workhome and not eary enough, I will only get it when I come back early next year. She has strewn out hints that "it is awesome" and that she "wrote a lot". Looking forward to!!
But that's it... Okay, not that
I made anyone a gift...

I am planning to make one for Sarah, but I need daylight and no rain and my parents out of the house and some time... So far, I have not gotten all four at once.
I might make mention that Sarah absolutely cleaned the clock this Christmas/18th birthday, I daresay her gifts in sum exceeded 1300$ Canadian!!!

She was quite ecstatic.
* I mention this extra since they had the fucking temerity here to cut it (a typical PG-13 Hollywood blockbuster with lots of monster violence but no real gore at all), since it would have gotten a "16+", but they wanted it to be "12+" to get a larger audience. Instead, it flopped totally, especially since about half of the final battle was cut, and in a completely jerky and transparent way as well!!
