Christmas went well. We usually have a Christmas Eve dinner and go to a movie on Christmas. (This year we saw Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.) There isn't much done in the way of present or a tree. So I was quite surprised that my brother got me something. He never gets me a present. It was even a thoughtful gift! We'd been watching Venture Bros together and I mentioned that I didn't have the season 4.1 or 4.2 DVDs. He secretly went out and got them, wrapped them, AND labeled them. And while I deeply appreciate all the effort, there is one little thing that confused me. He spelled my name wrong. He said it was because he knows my name is spelled "the weird way" but the normal way looks weird to him, so he spelled it with an E. My personal theory as to why he didn't spell my name right is because he's never actually ever had to spell my name. The gift still made me feel special, though.
Mum has taken to decorating one of the house plants in lieu of a tree. I put Scooter's gift under it.
Mum gives us all stockings. This year a donkey was donated to Heifer International on behalf of me. I put some mini knitted socks that she requested into her stocking this year.
I hope everyone has had a lovely holiday season. Does anyone else have any holiday traditions?

With siblings, it's always the thought that counts. My uncle (mother's brother) and his family sent us presents for Hanukah...and birthday presents for half of us. And that half isn't necessary the people with the birthdays closest to the holidays. And, of course, that aggravated my very type-A mother. Oh well ;)
Sounds like you had a nice Christmas!
