**Meggers** · 26th December 11, 08:49 AM

I had a very successful nerd christmas. In short: I laid in my bed last night with my Bon Temps Football t-shirt on (from True Blood) while reading The Hobbit (from my LOTR box set) while first season of The Walking Dead was playing on my laptop.

Got a lot of first and second seasons of shows (Walking Dead, True Blood, Modern Family), and cds (some country, some sountracks, some celtic). Ummm.....what else. Books: (Game of Thrones box set and LOTR box set). I was a very happy nerd.

what did the rest of you get!? What was your favorite gift that yuo got and what was your favorite gift that you gave:

Got: My iPod
Gave: the scarf that I crocheted for my boyfriend

Nuttin'. Love her dearly, but alas my wife is not a good gift giver. But from me she got a box of 30 multi-coloured silk scarves, a coffee grinder, and a necklace.

My nephew and niece (13 and 9) got me a Statler and Waldorf t-shirt from their trip to Disney World. I likes it a lot.

I got a pair of claret Lewis kilthose and a pair of ancient green garters from the STM. I was so happy.

I was very thankful for the lump of coal I received for my Christmas gift; though I outwardly grumbled about it. I worked very hard at expressing my inner, larval curmudgeon all year.

A lump of coal would be most welcome around these parts. Japanese homes are essentially made of wood and paper, do NOT have insulation, or double-paned windows, or central heating and oil/kerosene space heaters are the only way to heat the rooms inside at a semi-reasonable price (and with the global price of oil, that ain't cheap either)... It's not unusual for our hallways and bathroom to be at a constant 6C (43F) all winter long. When I'm in the kitchen making my morning coffee, I can see my breath. (Like this morning).

You don't keep a coffee maker on the nightstand by the bed?
