Where you any good this year? What did Santa brought you (besides TLRB v0.6.0 available here)?
Merry X-Mas! Hopefully your Adamantium Door resisted the visit!

Diddly squat!
Allow me explain.
In the Netherlands, we celebrate Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas, you can guess where the name Santa Claus came from ) on december 5th. Many christian families prefer to give presents then and not with Christmas. Considering Christmas is not about the presents, eh!
So yeah, I used to get a load of presents at home. But these days I usually spend Christmas with the in-laws. No presents.
I'm hoping my mom will make up for it tomorrow. Mommy!

...people use religion to justify all sorts of miserable behavior; SO no reason why cheap shouldn't be added to the list.

HAHAH!!! Deaf "The Wise" Nale is true! If we can justify the rabbit pooping chocolate eggs for Easter (see this post for details), the Crusades (that party got out of hand) and the Inquisition (that kind celebration was totally unexpected)... why not giving some gifts?
I say... DeafNala for Pope! Cheap gifts for everyone!
Ohhh... I got:
1) Two Micro SD memory cards. So I can put TLRB and read it on my phone or... 2) A NookColor (link) 3) A plastic cup, with a stirrer-straw for... 4) Some instant coffee... hehehe! 5) Some energy drinks. 6) Some complaints that I do not sleep enough (probably writing !!!) ... yet fuel to continue doing the same. 7) Hopefully time... to paint! I need to finish The White Waaagh! and The Eye Pokers.

I agree Deafnala for pope!
Someone surprised me with the Ultra Marines movie I believe. (mordheimer). I found a disk with "ultramarines" on it wrapped up on Xmas day. I have not had time to check it out but hopefully when I can get some quiet time.
I am jealous of disturbed on the kindle with PDFs.
It was great to see how happy the kids were with getting gifts.
