Bought a Bose docking station for my Ipod and a week in Gran Canaria. That'll do for this year!! Pot Noodle anyone?
Pyrex bowls
Everyone I know (even those not blessed with an eye for vintage ;-) loves those primary colored pyrex bowls. Why they don't reintroduce them is beyond me. An updated dishwasher-safe version of the set would sell like crazy.

What did I get myself this year for Christmas???
Well... after my relationship of the last 12 & half years went down toilet a couple months ago... I decided to treat myself to a 2 week trip to the Philippines to get away, met some new friends and to have some umm, fun....... ;- )

BTW....
I just got back from my trip a week a week and a half ago, on Dec 12!
AND.... actually the REAL reason I want to the Philippines was ONLY to pick up some Laundry soap for Maggie-Hamilton that is only available in Asia. Hahaha. NOT!
As far as I know, "PRIDE" is only available in the Philippines... Available from the large 2 kg. bags, down to the single use packets.
And while we do have "SURF" her in the USA... we do not have the Kalamansi scented SURF here.
Kalamansi's (as I know them) are part of the "lime" family, abundant in S.E. Asia, but mostly in the Philippines, but are only about an inch in diameter and have a very unique flavor (much different from the "Key" limes).

Ben, I think you can buy a wife in Russia? I know a guy who lives close to me who ordered her from a service of some kind? He asked me to play the organ for the wedding the night before the weddding. That didn't happen. Have fun. Gary

That's great Heather, my sister and her family live in Kenosha. Might just have to try and catch you home sometime when we're down for a visit.
Late Christmas
After much deliberation, I gave in and ordered myself a pair of these. They will be a "deferred" Christmas present since they come with a 12-week lead time....

Scott's new Yamaha RX-Z11.....
O.M.G!!!!!!! Scott I am J E A L O U S!!!!! I have had Yamaha surround processor amps since the DSP A-1 (still have it). I currently have an RX-V2400. I would have the T.O.L. RX-Z11, but at this point in my life just can't quite justify it.
Sorry to hear about your relationship too Scott.

I have never had a Christmas tree or seasonal decorations of any sort in my adult life. Just wasn't into it.
On a whim, I went shopping for those very things, today, and snagged some amazing bargains. At first, I figured I'd just store it all 'til next Christmas...
...but once it was all home, I decided to decorate the house! Up goes the tree and all the trimmings; all the decorations are going up, as well.
Also bought mini lights and garland and wreaths and knick-knacks and a nativity scene. This is going to be fun. What the hell, I'll leave them up for a month and enjoy the season a tad late.
Yay!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!

This is my 3rd. I had the older dspa1000, then to the dspa1 and now this one. I cant find anything else worth a look. Though i did look at the TOL denon, but i figured if ive been happy this far with yamaha, should stick with what works....You know how it is...lol If your ever in the Chicagoland area your always welcome to check out a flick and/or jam. Maybe by then i will have it out of the box and off my kitchen floor.

Ok so where are the pics?

Christmas in January?
Congratulations Eugene. Hey, leave everything up all year. I've done that twice, but then again, that's another issue alltogether for me.
I'm notorious for not changing anything in my house, but I don't think I'll leave the Christmas stuff up til next year. One thing I learned: Wear long sleeves when erecting a Christmas tree! My arms and hands look like they were attacked by a claw-happy cat.
I put mini lights around the frame of the picture window in my dining room, but it needs garland, too. The lights look OK at night, but in the stark light of day, all those wires are not pretty.
I'll post pics tomorrow when I get the bulbs on the tree. I'm excited about all this, but compared to the decorating many of you do, mine is nothing much. I can certainly understand, now, why people love to make the house festive this time of year!
