First Present: Video Camera
From: my Mother
Why it wins: well...because I got it about two months ago, even though it was supposed to be a holiday gift. I got some other smaller things two, like a paper watchband I can doodle on (great gift for an art student!) and a gorilla tripod for the video camera, but this was definitely the best first present I could have received.
Unexpected Which Should Not Have Been Unexpected: Monopod
From: my twin brother
Why it wins: I was trying to figure out what I wanted for the holidays and I remembered walking through the camera section of a store and I thinking how nice a monopod might be, but that I didn't feel like buying one just then. Then my brother asks what I want, and I remembered this and told him, but his reaction was, "It's a stick?". I replied that, "Yes, it basically is, but it has a screw to put your camera on it so it's more stable than if I used a stick off the ground." His reply, "It's still a stick." So I didn't think he would actually get me one, but he did, and I had forgotten about our exchange and so I was still pleasantly surprised! I can't wait to go hiking with it!
Most Elated About When Opened: Wool Shawl
From: my Grandmother
Why it wins: For the past few years, my grandmother has given me a purse or a hat and scarf for the holidays. Very nice ones, but nothing extremely exciting. This year, however, I received a beautiful grey shawl. I have a green fleece cloak that I wear in cold weather but this grey shawl can be worn indoors (or outdoors in somewhat nice weather) and because of the color, it can go with more outfits. I was so elated about this shawl that I wore it the rest of the day and now I go back and forth between it and my fleece (weather permitting).
Will Take The Longest Time With: Mythbusters Season 7
From: my Father
Why it wins: I know I've seen all the episodes already, but because I now have them on DVD, I can go through them again and again and again. Mythbusters is just one of those shows where you can pick an episode randomly and just watch it and since they're in their 8th-9th season (depending on how you count it) there are so many that you don't really get bored of it.
Cutest: Porcelain Band Penguin Figurines
From: my Fiance
Why it wins:
These are all from a website called Penguin Place and if they aren't the cutest things you've seen all day, you're obviously having a VERY cute day!
