Christmas Morning Awakenings

[misscam]

Ah, Christmas morning... Waking stuffed with good food and all the gifts I got last night piled up in various places of the room. I got some killer new shoes and various clothing articles, a new computer chair, a framed picture of my beloved Tromsø, perfumes, the Nemi book, the Doctor Who Shooting Scripts (thank you, mademoisellenon!), Taekwon-Do classes, Thud!, Doctor Who FunFax (surprise gift from saganamidreams, the naughty woman, who'd also made a lovely, lovely card), mini-Maglite, cow things (moo to you too, falena84), Sims2 from siraj, Doctor Who calender and poster and of course the gift I opened way, way too early, namely my beloved Daleks from highwindpav.

ME-RR-Y CHRIS-MAS!

Oh, and I see lotus79 managed to sneak some paid LJ time on me. You sneaking sneak, you. Must also thank the whole bunch of you that sent smashing cards - adore you all!

Today is the day of The Christmas Invasion. So, so excited. If I make random noises today, just smack me.

Today is also the anniversary of the tsunami disaster, which hit Indonesia and other countries in the region so badly. Though not hit directly, many Western countries also lost people on vacation in the area. But in the aftermath of it, peace was agreed upon in Aceh for the first time in decades and aid poured in. If something good can be born out of tragedies, there is hope for a better world.

It seems to me as fitting a way to honour the dead as any.

Thailand holds tsunami memorials
Sweden remembers their dead, still bitter at government
Entertainment year in review
Gloomy end of year for Bush
Evolution gets science honour

And in sillier news - Cow flees Nativity scene (This happened in the city just fifteen minutes from where I live.)

"There's a lot of power in a good cow," Eriksson explained. "Even though our police officers pump iron, it's not easy for us to assume control over a cow weighing several hundred kilos."

Cow power!

Teehee! And the real pressie hasn't got there yet, but I'll bet it does next postage day. Just to spite me, heh.

*spots you sneaking about sneakily and melts you with snowballs*

That's generally how the Universe works, it seems.

Don't you think it's better that way though? It makes for a nice surprise after the actual Christmas day is over. :D

Merry Christmas, but please don't sue because I said Christmas and Christmas has the word CHRIST in it even though I'm not a Christian.

OOOH, cow. *patpats a cow*

Heee Cows. Livestock can be dangerous.

God Jul and Happy Hannukah!

God jul! And you know the Daleks would have shot their way out and EX-TERM-INATED you if you hadn't opened them way early ;)

Merry Christmas, Cam. And God Jul.

Io Saturnalia. (I've not much idea what that means.)

You ever heard the song "Cows With Guns"? Seems fairly appropriate to that article. XD

Good to see I wasn't the only one to think of that song.

I am glad you like your gift. I received yours yesterday and...it's divine, Cammy, thanks!
