Ahahah can't imagine what was your budjet ! You beat me completly I hope they were happy at least ! You're like a Santa ;D

Everyone was very happy and appreciative! It was so fun. I know I didn't have to get so many gifts, but I was just so excited. I went from not knowing whether or not I was going to be employed come the holidays to starting a new job where I am actually earning more...so I figured I could afford a celebratory splurge on Christmas gifts.

My dad -- three books (The Murder Artist by John Case, The Cell by Colin Forbes, and Naughts and Crosses by Ian Rankin). We got Void Moonby Michael Connelly for him as well, but had to take it out of the box or it would've cost £36 to post the package rather than £18.
