Dude, one of the students in my youth ministry got a dolphin pillow pet. It was quite cute.

I know I'm a little late to the party... but here we go.

A fireproof lockbox (welcome to stupid adult things I need, lol)
A stuffed gryphon (Thanks Gretel and Brad)
new headset for gaming
Some money (dont remember how much)
Wii Sports Resort + the WiiMotion plus things for all 4 of my controllers
A recharge station for my Wii controllers
a couple books

Then my students gave me lots of stuff from Bath and Body Works and candy and all kinds of fun things. Couple new blankets.

Overall, it was a nice Christmas gift wise. Rough one, cause it was the first one without my mom, but it affirmed some stuff to me.

Where do you live because you know here in MN we could always use a few? In case you didn't notice that was a joke.

I'm sure that Minnesotans have the proper clothes for a MN winter. However, it's the southerners that are not used to this kind of cold, so their wardrobe is completely unprepared.

BTW, according to a reliable* source, Florida is the only state in the country to have not had snow this winter.

It will be back in the 70's here by Saturday, then up to 80 next week (just in time for my mom's arrival from snow-laden New Hampshire).
