I'm so happy that most of my wrapping is done. Usually I leave it all to the last minute and I'm up until 4am at my parent's place freaking out and enlisting my mum to wrap and my dad to guard doors to prevent snooping.
I have a few things to wrap tonight, but no more than ten minutes worth.

Wrapping's done. House is clean for the big family party tonight. No time to make a comic for Monday, but I don't care. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Feliz Navidad a todos. Aunque es difícil que esté en mi el espíritu de las fiestas, este año ha sido año de pérdidas para nuestra familia y amigos, pero también ha sido el año en el cual hemos recibido su apoyo y esto nos da fuerzas para seguir adelante en el año venidero. Gracias y otra vez, felices fiestas.
We should've all borrowed a half dozen kids from @stienman.

Ran on the treadmill for 25 minutes earlier and just did the DDP Yoga Fat Burner. Feeling a little better. Sorry about the depressive post.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
My haul included a bunch of gift cards for Chapters, Starbucks, and Cineplex. New pajama bottoms, too (Superman themed!), but they're WAY too big so Mom will see about exchanging them.

No worries mate, sometimes you just have to get if off of you and share with someone else. We're all that someone else.
I texted a slightly confused @Dave about this time last night. Took him a moment to realize who it was (with a little help.)

Merry Christmas everyone
Got some phat l00t.
That knife sharpener is da bomb. I'm ashamed to say it's faster and better than when I do it by hand. Of course, I could just suck at doing it by hand.
TIL that the Monster Mash had a Christmas sequel, Monsters' Holiday:

Had in-laws over for Christmas. Which, unlike all the sitcoms out there, I loved. I enjoy my parents-in-law's company. For Christmas, I got some small things I've been wanting. The big gift was a new subwoofer for my surround sound system. The old was part of a 5.1 package set I bought, jeez, 15 years ago. It was never great. I just asked for a monoprice one because a) I'm no audiophile, and b) they were on sale (though the shipping was insane).
But I guess the biggest thing I got, I bought for myself. I got sick of my Mini's crap. The water and oil pumps were going, and the car only had about 45000 miles/7 years on it (I live near work--would bike if I relished the idea of death by car). Anyway, I bought a used jeep wrangler in one of those end of year deals that are totally worth waiting until the last week of december for. My last car was a wrangler, and I never had a moment's trouble out of it. And when I did, it didn't require disassembling half the engine to fix like the mini did. Gas usage isn't great, but again, I live near work. So win.

Oh, I didn't have that fantastic of a Christmas.
I just:
1. Spent it in Arizona for the first time ever;
2. Spent it with family for the first time in years; and
3. Got myself and my wife a new (to us) home for Christmas.*
* - Okay, we actually put the offer in on Boxing Day, but it counts...
