My Christmas Gifts
Okay, so I’m a few days late on blogging. I was supposed to be back on here Tuesday listing out all the wonderful Christmas gifts that I got. But, I’m simply lazy. I’ve spent the last three days playing with my gifts as opposed to telling the world about them.
I will say that going home was fun, and I did get lots of neat stuff. And since I’m not going to tell about every detail of every thing that I got, I will list the books and movies. Especially since these are the things that will shape my life.

Hi Justin!
Sounds like you had a great holiday. You got some really nice presents! The hubby and I watched The Devil Wears Prada last night, I really enjoyed it. Hope you have a wonderful New Year’s and be careful if you go out on New Year’s Eve. 
Oh, forgot to mention, I finally watched “It’s a Wonderful Life”. It was, and I’m probably going to get banished to some far corner of the blogosphere for this, just ok. It’s a charming story, but it didn’t speak to me the way other’s have written about it. Maybe it’s a victim of too much anticipation. :/
