What's this? Another Jeff Dunham DVD!

It's one hour after Christmas Day and this year was awesome. I was helping some families out with last holiday surprises while Chris was finishing up at work and we packed up my Yaris and headed to Jersey. The whole trunk and back seat of my car was packed to the roof with gifts. Between what was already there and what we brought, the tree was packed. You could hardly see carpet! There were lots of great gifts, ridiculous gifts and thoughtful gifts. Chris got me a Nike+ Amp wristband remote control/watch for my iPod for my jogging. Nick and Rita loaded me up with PS3 games, Heroes on DVD (in addition to my Heroes on HD DVD) and Ultimate Matrix Collection on HD DVD (in addition to my Matrix DVD collection) which is all collectively known as my entertaining distractions from finishing my album. But not to worry, the games and one of the boxed sets are all sitting still in their shrink wrap awaiting for me to finish the album and then celebrate with hundreds of hours of movies and video games. Nick got me two dozen mini packs of Play dough. I got Nick a quesadilla maker, a car emoticon display to send messages to cars behind his, a vacuum cleaner that is USB powered and an assortment of stocking stuffers. I got Chris a slew of gadgets, the highlight being the iCarta , which you have to see to believe (it's a toliet paper holder/iPod dock) and many stocking stuffers. I got mom #2 a tea set, a giant clothespin, many stocking stuffers and several copies of the Jeff Duham DVD she loves so much and the CD of the same show...each wrapped separately and comically sprinkled throughout the gift openings. There were many, many other random things and it was a great time. I've got the greatest East Coast family; two brothers and mom#2.

We were going to head to New York as usual, but between being tired and Chris being on duty Christmas afternoon, we postponed the trip to Thursday.

After getting back to Delaware, I did a little jogging and worked on the album a bit then went out to see National Treasure II. It was okay, but I didn't like it as much as the first one. A lot of the dialogue felt like it was meant for five-year-olds. Regardless, it was fun and we got some diner food afterward.

Anyway, it's late and I've got work in the AM, goodnight everyone and Merry Christmas.
