Post Your Holiday Gifts Here!

[impy13]

LMP and I had similar hauls:

- I was one of probably dozens here to get U2 by U2
- 2007 Dallas Mavericks team calendar
- The Beatles - "Love"
- The Decemberists - "The Crane Wife"
- The Killers - "Sam's Town"
- Little Miss Sunshine on DVD
- More UT stuff than I know what to do with (as in musical bottle openers, cups, blanket, etc.) Most of it's probably going to stay home in Dallas rather than make its way back to Austin. My apartment is spirited enough.
- $50 Best Buy giftcard
- The Office Season 1 (mine was stolen a few months ago)
- A (broken) Dwight Bobblehead
- $15 on iTunes
- XBox Live points gift card
- Two David Sedaris books

I gave my mom a UT pajama set, my dad Seinfeld 7, and the former potential Miss imp13 a Dwight bobblehead, bubble umbrella, and necklace.

Happy Festivus.
