Fa-la-la-la-laaaaaaaabah-humbug

I'm not sure when I became a humbug kind of guy. I don't dislike Christmas itself. But I dislike cheesy Christmas commercials. And I REALLY dislike most Christmas music. So I'm thankful that the holiday season is finally coming to a close.

I can't really get excited about getting gifts since nobody in the family can afford to get me the things I really want. But I do usually make sure I get myself a Christmas present. What was my gift to myself this year? Why, only the greatest dramatic television series ever.

And thanks to a heads up from Shannon's husband, I got it for $90. Yes, the list price really is $250. It just arrived today. I can't wait to dive in.

Also, I signed up for the cheapest version of Netflix which lets me get one movie at a time. But also, it allows me to stream certain movies directly to my TV through my Xbox, which is awesome. I've already used that 3 or 4 times.

Now, I just have to make it through the mother of all non-holidays, New Year's Eve. Oh, and then 2 to 3 more months of the ridiculously cold Ohio winter we're having. Guess I'll be spending lots of time inside watching movies. And hockey.

Good times.
