Christmas 2006

Well, it has been a great holiday so far! I will first outline the gifts I gave…so as to make me look like a nice person of sorts:

1. Digital Picture Frame *to parents* – <<

Now for the items I received:

1. Dry Erase Board – I was really excited for this one…though we have yet to mount it up on my closet door. 🙁
2. Yamaha Clickstation – This is a bit on the side of “Hey, I’m a musical nerd!” but it’s SOO useful, especially in the field of percussion. I’ve had a lot of fun the past couple of days just setting a tempo and cruising, making up fun grooves and stuff. It’s also really fun to mess with odd time signatures (9/8 or 11/4).
3. 20 “AA” Batteries – Self explanatory…I had been whining to my parents the past couple of months about how we just need to get a “mess uh batteries!” because we were always running out. 20 is a good start 🙂
4. Money – a la Money Tree – As a joke, my parents (before I woke up) stapled some checks up on a tree outside…and I got to “just go right out to our money tree and pick some!” My mom couldn’t stop laughing…she thought it was the best thing ever.

And lastly – a gift I got the day after Christmas (with my money/Christmas money):
A NEW DIGITAL CAMERA! OHHH Soo happy. It’s an Olympus SP310 I had had my eye on for a long time…that finally was $70 cheaper for the after Christmas sale at Wolfes. I’ve already taken about 100 photos with it…including the one in this post: “Fake Moon.”

I’ll be adding more pictures to my photo gallery (gallery.wingerson.us). Spread the word, so lots of people can let me know what they’s be thinking.

Well, to wrap it up…Christmas was great this year. I liked it a whole lot better this time around, because I was able to give more and more sincerely than previous years, and that’s what makes Christmas great (in my opinion). Thanks for reading…toss me comments. Have a great rest of the holiday season!
