I AM the best brother ever!

I bought Emmy a funky necklace as a parentally acceptable Christmas gift and also this weird otaku-j'punk video game about assassins that she will undoubtedly have to wait until our parents are out of the house in order to play. It is the perfect cool-older-brother gift and might also be good career training should she choose a lucrative life of high crime.

Now I have to figure out what to buy Mama Tickey. This is potentially just as difficult, but way fewer cool points are at risk.

I was going to do a dinner poll, but then I forgot and came home and ordered Chinese. SO.

LOL, man, POLL CONTROVERSY. Or, in the case of real trees, contreeversy.

pocketmouse mentioned that they never take their fake tree down, just decorate it seasonally -- which I think is awesome, but I decided that if I were going to do something like that it would be something less prone to stab me with fake plastic needles.

Do you know, I don't actually own a Wildebeest of any kind? Though I'm very tempted to buy the deconstructible one. Kids: here is a gift for you to dismember!

So, when I finally get round to inventing Sammastide (also known as Christisn'tspringhereyetmas), it will involve traditional turducken dinner -- pizza also acceptable -- and the decorating of the Wildebeest, right before they hand out plastic scythes to the kiddies and play Who's Going To Lose An Ear.

ALSO: GIP. twirlynoodle made it for me. Because I am captain of the safety, and have the sexy orange hat to prove it.
