Me? Overwhelmed by Amazon vouchers, stunned by a polo shirt, charmed by a thing-what-you-use-to-flip-over-food-in-a-pan, made speechless by a fleece jacket, and made woozy by a glass of Prosecco.
I’m in San Francisco. My brother gave me a limited edition baseball commemorating the Giants World Series victory – very cool. My mom gave me a turntable – haven’t owned one in years. Time to get the LP’s out of storage
apart from the usual hangover and flatulence our household now has a new $200 frypan, this android apad II I am using as I type this, and some new additions to the wardrobe.
Complete surprise. I had no idea, I had vaguely expressed that it would be cool to learn the drums some months ago, joking that every proper studio need a drumkit, and then forgot all about it.
So when this huge box appears I really had no idea what was in it.

I traded my xmas wish preseason for a bass upgrade Chistmas day brought the aftermath of a Christmas Eve celabration. Joy was had watching my sons open their gifts, but as time passes, my wants and desires change, so this year the best gift was my extended family spending time enjoying the day and relaxing together.
Accessories accessories and more accessories. Since I’m the odd one out for studio stuff, and my family knows nothing about music I asked for all the stuff that I always forget about. Things like cord organizers, notepads, pens & markers, batteries, flashlights etc… Now I’m stocked and happy.
Also, for the less “fun” part of my life. Clothes and other stuff. (Very needed, considering I dress like a bum most of the time).
A low key Christmas due to economic hardships, but not too bad all told. I’m with JSW though. Family and friends, and watching other open their gifts is far more fun.
