I finally ended up sending my package-o’-presents home for Christmas. Here’s how it all stacked up:

It turned out to be a little difficult getting all the stuff into the box we had, but I managed to find a configuration that fit it all in with room to spare. I guess all those nights spent playing Tetris under the covers with one of those light/magnifying glass things on my Game Boy weren’t for nothing after all.

The package ended up costing us a princely $82 (USD) to post. Next time, everyone’s getting helium balloons and quill pens for Christmas.

We finished decorating the tree last night, except for the angel, which we put on tonight. That was about the extent of our Christmas activities today, because I was not really in the mood for much of anything with the cold that hobo in downtown Seattle gave me. So we just stayed in today… Laura went out and got me some meds (and an Archie comic– awesome girlfriend!), then she made me some soup and we watched Return To Oz. Good times.

Sorry for the blurriness of the shot, but it’s kind of hard to get a decent shot when you’re also trying to get the lights. You can’t really see, but we have some awesome ornaments on there. Ronald McDonald, Sebastian and Flounder, The Rescuers… awesome stuff.

I’m still feeling a little under the weather, but there’s a bonfire/Christmas ship thing down at the marina tonight which is kind of a big deal, so I’ll probably head out for that. Gotta love local/community-geared Christmas events.
