Great pic there, Leon!

The only Rush-related thing I got was Neil's book, Roadshow. I'm enjoying that. But here's what Santa Claus brought for the old ElfDude:

Again, very nice.

I LOVE CARVIN!!!

It's very used. It was a great eBay score. I just sent it out to get the frets polished. They were a mess. The previous owner was definitely a rocker. This thing didn't sit in a closet over the last 7 years.

Wonderful, Elfie! You got a toy that was already "loved" so it will give you that much more joy!

D.A. spoiled me rotten.

I got Dracula Dead and Loving It
Robin Hood Men in Tights
The entire Mr. Bean series
Dream Theater Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence
Porcupine Tree Coma Divine
Stars Die
No-Man Returning Jesus
and an I-Dog (little robot dog that dances and does a little light show if you set him to music.)

His parents gave me turquoise earrings and a crystal ornament.

Apart from the new live Porcupine Tree dvd (to replace my pirate copy) I had a music free xmas this year

.
My main pressie was a new mobile phone from Mrs Ogg. Tabs, like she does every year, gave me the latest 'Discworld' calendar AND a bottle of the new 'mint' flavour 'Baileys Irish Cream' (see xmas pix). Jamey gave a pair of requested boots and Josh provided the deodorant and aftershave cliche.
Thats about it really...oh, Connor gave me a pair of 'My Grandad Is Cool' socks

.

Careful! I hear those things are addictive! *wink*

Sounds like everyone has gotten nice things.

What I have enjoyed the most this year is the time we have been spending with family and close friends. With H home we are seeing people we love but just don't run into much and it is a real blessing.

Egle and Dovey with Christmas Decorations H brought them:

Zep makes cute faces:

H is the same ole H!

Eagle played Santa and handed out the gifts:

Two of my boys!

Bear eyed H warily while she was eating. I think he was glad he wasn't za.

A long time favorite movie!

And I became infested with rats!
