[whiteballz]

I was going to go with family, friends, seagrass.. But yes, pineapple lumps work.

Yes you're mostly right.

Except that Sant Esteve isn't the patron saint of Catalunya (it's Sant Jordi). And the 24th is a working day, but at night we usually do the Tió de Nadal (which means more gifts... )

Don't really celebrate it but the missus got me a very nice Thomas Pink shirt and a lovely pair of Emporio Armani cufflinks.
Also received a 2.5metre long bendy pencil as a secret Santa present lol.

Got some cook books from the gf (I LOVE cooking, especially grilling). Money for my cruise. Being over 18 in my family is the suck...

But tonight I plan on getting some use out of the stuff I bought for the lady, ifyaknowwhatimean... Wink wink, nudge nudge. Eh? Eh?

Beat me to it.

I got clothes, money, a hangover, and an XBox game. Like others said, the food was probably the best part.

I essentially got rent for next month, because I'm not doing so well financially. That and "care package" essentials. Food, alcohol (lots), toiletries. Really, all I could ask for.

The food is where it's at. Two dinners so far, with another to come on the 27th.
