Yes, we're a little insane. By my estimate, we had a total of about 300 presents under that tree. It took us six hours to open everything. Here we all are preparing to start opening:
Here is my leftist/commie brother Mike playing with the talking Ronald Reagan doll Brenda & I gave him:
Not quite as perfect as the talking Ann Coulter doll he got last year, but that's tough to top.
Here's my other brother David and his wife Diane opening stuff:
Here's David's daughter Julia. She tried, seriously, to watch the entire 24-hour A Christmas Story marathon last year, so we had to get her this shirt:
This is David's son Byron watching my mom open something:
Here's my dad proudly displaying a cookbook we got him:
And this is Byron again wearing the Coolest Christmas Present Ever:
Yes, I did buy myself a Voice-Changing Darth Vader Helmet at the same time I got the one for my nephew. What of it?
As for my own haul, I got one of these. It's probably going to take me a while to fill that 20 GB drive, although I may just be able to do it without buying any more music than I already own.
Between Brenda & I, we also got:
All three of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle books (now I need to finish Cryptonomicon...)
A vacuum food-sealer
A deli slicer
The From the Earth to the Moon DVD box set
The Hanzo the Razor DVD box set
An obscure nunsploitation movie.
A whole bunch of rabbit-related books and calendars
And, let's be honest, a whole lot of other stuff

The Baroque cycle was my first (and so far, only) taste of Neal Stephenson but I was quite impressed. I'm sure you'll enjoy them all.
As for that movie, i'm totally not into that sort of thing, but it does sound very interesting.
