A belated Merry Christmas to everyone :). Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Things I got yesterday from my parents:

-Some chocolate & candy canes
-Little mugs with stuffed animals in them, like a penguin, a deer, a bear, and a little stuffed Santa (and they're all so cute!)
-A couple of turtlenecks (which is good, 'cause I said I needed a couple of new ones)
-A really pretty red sweater
-A moon pillow
-A little jewelry box (in which I put my pearl necklace my aunt had sent me for my birthday :))
-The "Live Aid" DVD
-U2's "Best Of 1990-2000" DVD
-The "U2 Show" book

Things I got from my sister:

-U2's Slane Castle DVD (saw the part where Eve's dancing around during "Mysterious Ways" yesterday-awwwww :cute:...)
-And possibly one of THE neatest things I've ever gotten-a charcoal drawing picture of U2 that someone had made. When my family had gone to Rapid City a few weeks back to do some Christmas shopping, we'd come across this little table area of a bunch of charcoal drawings of various musicians and actors and whatnot (and they were REALLY good, too). Apparently, when I wasn't at that area, my sister'd found a U2 one, and decided to get that for me for Christmas. :D. It's of the guys from the Pop era, and it's scary how good the drawing is.

So yesterday 'twas a good day. And my family liked the gifts they all got, too (matter of fact, my dad's watching one of the things he got yesterday right now), so...:up:.

Your dad is by far one of THE coolest people ever *Nods*. What an awesome Christmas gift! *Is envious, LOL*

Also, hey, I'd keep an eye out anyway if I were you-ya never know, you could meet one of the guys while you're there. Crazier things have happened, after all, right?

When you do take your trip, may you have a wonderful time.
