Just on the offchance you might find it to be of some entertainment value..

An electric toothbrush

Socks

A weather detector
(This is an ingenious piece of kit. It's a sponge on a string which you hang outside the window. If the sponge is wet, it is raining. If it is hot, it is sunny. If it it hangning at an angle, it is windy)

An invisible man action figure
(Need I state the obvious here?)

Sweets and stuff. More than I eat in a year - partially because I don't actually eat sweets and chocolate.

Puzzles. Every year I get a few, and every year I solve them quickly. This year, I've been beaten. Some annoying string puzzle has the better of me. Grrrr. Alcohol must have been destorying my brainpower.

Red Dwarf video - first few episodes of series seven, incluing extra footage and the Rimmer munchkin song.

Juggling eggs. realistic (allegedly) looking eggs made of rubber, to be juggled with. Look about as convincing as eggs as strawberry jam looks like realistic blood. Excellent for throwing at younger siblings, however.

And A Terry Pratchett book.

That's the lot!

The history of the RAF book,
Birthday book. You can see why I stopped but I got more sadly. =B0p

Hmm... lets see if I can remember:


Best of Dizzy Gillespe album (damn good BTW)
2 Calendars for the year 2002
Some seamonkeys
A "Bleedin' gums Murphy" collectable figure
the Karate kid trilogy
A glue gun !?!
Fine line pens of artistic quality
A jumper, socks, boxers as standard
Chocolate (only 1 Toblerone :-( )
books (including a Raymond Chandler trilogy, which is pretty fly)
an "I.O.U some money" verbal notice from my mother.

Not the haul of the century, but hey, its about the love of the season... and I'm sure 1 Toblerone says its been a lonely christmas better than anything.

Bah Humbug.
