A Tale of Two Holidays

Christmas:
Annual ornament (the Three Wise Men)
2006 Dave Barry daily calendar
two pairs of pants
Weird N.J. #25
$200, which went to...

Festivus (bought Wed.):
Smackdown vs. Raw 2006
Positively Fifth Street by James McManus
Tales from the Tiltboys by Phil, Rafe, Perry, et. al.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD (widescreen)
The Truman Show DVD (Special Edition)
two poster frames

The rest of Festivus actually took place on Christmas Day, which should probably have disrupted space-time:

AIRING OF GRIEVANCES
- I complained about the "rum martini" scented candle which was burning to cover the aroma of the roasting Prime Rib (which we may also have had last year)
- Mom lamented the lack of grandchildren, which is going about eight steps too far ahead

FEATS OF STRENGTH
- Lugging three gift boxes packed full of new dishware across the room
- Not getting sick due to the smell of the candle
