Well, that time of the year has passed again, Christmas. For me, this year Christmas (or Giftmas as others have called it) was not very “Christmassy”. I don’t know why and hopefully am not turning in to one of those Grinches like the Lord Mayor of Sydney who refused to put together a huge Christmas display because of the fact some people don’t believe in Christmas and would find the festivities and decorations in the city offensive. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas that would testify to us celebrating our beliefs. </slight-rant>
Okay, so I didn’t particularly want much this year for Christmas because I don’t have any particular needs although there were a few things I did want (Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Extended Edition and Stargate SG1 Season 4 boxed set), I ended up with the following.
- Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Extended Edition DVD
- Stargate SG1: Season 4 DVD Boxed Set
- 1 Year subscription to Australian PC World
- Some more clothes
- A new hat - with broad edges. Perfect for out in the boat.
- Thongs (the kind you wear on your feat damnit!)
- $30 Coles Myer Gift Card
- $25 Coles Myer Gift Card
- Chocolates!
- $570 worth of computer equipment I bought myself including a 108mbs Wireless AP, new case, new cpu fan, new power supply, thumbscrews, and some SATA drive power cables - all of which is yet to arrive.
I’ve just spent the past 2 days down at the grandparents place down the coast with my cousins and I actually spent most of the time watching SG1: Season 4 on Dad’s laptop - which I decided I would be taking down and which I am currently writing this post on. On the car trip down we listened to songs from the final 12 on Australian Idol using my iPod and FM Tunecaster. Also ended up watching some of Return of the King on the way down on the laptop and one of the episodes of Stargate on the way back. Arrived home to a boiling hot house and an Optus usage meter saying I had used 85% of this months current data allowance.
Anyway, better late than never so Merry Christmas all and incase I don’t post for the new year, then enjoy the last few days of 2004 and party hard on new years eve!
Chris.

Would you have preferred the panties-like kind of thong?
Anyway, not a bad Giftmas, right?
Chris Boulton (December 28th, 2004, 9:57 am)
No I wouldn’t have preferred them.. Lol
Not a bad Giftmas at all. Considering I din’t want much I think I did pretty well for myself.
