I know, lol

My family already opened gifts. See, our religion believes that Jesus was actually born one day earlier than everyone else thinks. So this is my Christmas.

This is a bit off topic, but What does Boxing Day celebrate?

i must say that the live from boston TAPE, i repeat TAPE (we have no DVD, suckers! oh wait...) is absolutely stunning.

i must say the whole thing is beautiful, while wishing that ALL of the songs from the show were on there, oh well. some favorites after watching it once were, the first three songs, bad into streets, amazing how the camera caught the moment, plus bullet, wowy, the fly, and screw it, the whole thing was awesome.

i also got the elevation calendar for 2002, NOT 2001. what.

i also got a radiohead (i might be wrong) cd and book (exit music) and echoes from pink floyd.

one of the coolest things though was a PROFESSIONALY done tape of my graduation from high school!!!! kick ass!!!!! its soooo great to have something like that of one of the most incredible days of my life.

excellent christmas, though since i brag about all i got, its only fair to re-iterate that i have NOT lost the true meaning of christmas. i may be spoiled, but my mind is in the right place.

No fair! Y'know what's funny? My mom bought stuff for herself and my dad and had me wrap them. I was like YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS! WHY DO I HAVE TO WRAP IT UP? SAVE A TREE, MOMMY!

And my mom is in love with Edge who she thinks looks like Richard Gere.

I've gotten a U2 poster so far, and I expect to get the DVD and the 2002 calendar. All my friends and family think of me as The U2 Freak now, so I guess that's why I'm getting all this U2 merchandise.
 
my friend printed out a bunch of u2 pictures and made ornaments out of them and hung them all around my room while i was in class

thanks heather, if you're reading. it was the cutest thing!

And Calluna sent me the complete U2 encyclopedia!

Yay!

BTW, this is a non U2 gift but if you like INXS, get their anthology! I love it!

I shook some presents earlier, and it sounded like a gift certificate for the Boston DVD and Wide Awake in America (< realized I didn't have it on CD yet).

Otherwise, before Midnight Mass, I spent four hours burning my 65 year old dad a U2 mix. He even wanted the words.
 
I got a rolled Toyota Tacoma. Can you say insurance deductable? Hmm...humbug.

Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash..Mister!
