LOL Oh my goodness. That place is without a doubt the cheesiest place on the planet. I've never been, but I get
so tired of driving by the signs ALL the time. XD I've only actually driven past the place once, but oh my goodness. Cheesiest on earth. XD
Also, on topic, Beauty and the Beast and Inception on BluRay/DVD, a new hat and scarf, and a yoga mat! Also a trip to the movie theater, which has become a fast and welcome tradition on Christmas in my family. XD

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...nothing.
I have no true love.
FOREVER ALONE.
In all seriousness though I got some nice socks and a couple of cool shirts and some buffalo meat sticks. And a 50 dollar Wal-Mart gift card. Oh and the Simpsons/Futurama crossover book.

How many pages do they spend telling you to not talk down to kids? (Something I only need to read five times to get into my head.
) That book sounds pretty cool, though.

Hahaha! My family and I went there a couple times when I was little (about 4 or 5. Maybe 6.). Whenever we would drive by the signs, I would always ask, "Can we go there?" Heehee! Brings back memories. (And yes, it's cheesy.
)

Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate
A box for recipes
A training retriever dummy for my future service dog
A coloring book with colored pencils
A flying monkey toy (complete with a hat and a cape!)
2 skeins of white Knit Picks yarn <3
From Mom:
A brand new set of really warm pajamas (just in time for the 28 degree weather we had this morning)
Some lotion
A calendar with kitties (I had already bought a Where's Waldo? Calendar, but it can't hurt to have more than one.)
A paint-by-numbers kit (it's a tiger!)
Oh, and at the White Elephant party last week, I got a couple of DVDs with episodes of old shows such as Andy Griffith, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Blondie.
