It's time we finally get around to discussing what the season is about: Presents.

What was on your Christmas list? Mine goes like this:

1) The Catholicism series

2) The Ruins of Gorlan

3) Black leather gloves

4) An electric shaver that isn't three years old and actually works.

An ELECTRIC shaver? Sonnnnnnnnnn...

Real men use a brush & mug followed by a Gillette razor. (It's also more beneficial ecologically - it runs on MANpower rather than electricity.)

The Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration make some nice shaving balm to finish up with.

I just told people: personal hygiene items, like razors, combs, toothbrushes, and such. Or perhaps a $20 gift certificate to the thrift store; I could use more old-fashioned tweed jackets.

Most importantly, though, I told friends that they shouldn't feel obliged to get me anything. I honestly think far too much money is spent on gifts for Christmas as it is--and not out of any strong sense of fellow-feeling, but out of obligation.

Books and gift cards :) not to sound corny, but I deeply enjoy just reading Scripture each evening leading up to Christmas. I'm more excited for Mass and giving my husband his gifts.

Yes, an electric shaver. It's much quicker and works a lot better than a razor when you have no hot water.

I've tried telling people time and again the greatest gift they can give me (or anyone, for that matter) is a Barnes & Noble gift card, but they insist on giving me personal items. :P

I've got a 40 year old sewing machine under the tree. A Bernina 830. That's the gull wing Mercedes of sewing machines. He won't let me play with it until Christmas Day. It's been slow torture.

Stuff for my new house: garden hose, a leaf sucker up-er, a parring knife and cutting board, and more Frontline for the cat

Spem in alium

I don't particularly want anything, other than peace for my family. It's my first time away from home for Christmas. My parents gave me a gift last weekend - a lot of skincare products and perfume, which do come in handy - and most meaningful was finding a little poem my mother had written out for me, and a letter my sister had written.
