Did I mention that the Mr Flibble puppet had diamond eyes and was completely made out of rare Ya-Ya bird feathers flown from Papa New Guinea (apart from the eyes of course.)

A new TV -- yayy!
The new "Simpsons" and "Family Guy" DVDs.
The new Brad Paisley and Kate Bush CDs.
A couple of shirts.
A wireless mouse for my laptop.
Gift cards from Target, Lowe's and Best Buy.
But best of all, the last day I was at work before Christmas I got a letter from the university saying I got a promotion and, even better, tenure. Now they can never get rid of me, mwah-ha-ha!!! (Imagine me twirling a moustache in a sinister fashion). Okay, of course they could get rid of me if they really wanted to, but it would be tough, and I would have to do something really, really bad to make it worth their while. :evilsmile
It may not sound like much, but anybody else here who works in academia, or knows anyone who works in academia, knows that for us this is a very big deal, so I'm beyond excited. Now maybe I can cut down on the time spent on publishing and presenting a little and rededicate my life to vegging in front of the TV, reading comics, and memorizing BoP dialogue. ;)

The best thing I got was the Muppet Show season 1 DVD boxed set, but technically that was an early birthday gift, not a christmas gift.
I also got a cool set of Jones sodas with a holiday theme. One tastes like cranberry sauce, another like turkey dinner, etc. What a crazy idea!
I also got the season 1 DVD boxed set of Batman: the animated series, the DVD of My Neighbors the Yamadas, the PS2 videogame Shadow of the Colossus, and the CD "Light & Magic" by Ladytron.
I also got some other stuff, but it wasn't as important. Of what I list, it was actually all on my Amazon.com wish-list (minus the sodas).
