Playing Santa

(Updated! Because now I actually have time.)

So this is just a quick note of things I bought for people in my family this year. I decided to update this while sipping hot cocoa spiked with a shot of Godiva Chocolate and a shot of Bailey’s Irish cream.

Mom – The Annotated Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett (ed. Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina), Dreamgirls on DVD & Justin Timberlake’s Futuresex/Lovesounds (Deluxe Edition).

Dad – A Yankee Century and Beyond by Harvey Frommer & When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by David Maraniss.

Grandma -Double Cross by James Patterson & Amazing Grace Danielle Steel.

Grandpa – Books of Soups: More than 100 Recipes for Perfect Soups by the Culinary Institute of America.

Conner, cousin, age 7 – The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. (I forget which version, but it really nice, full page paintings every few pages and big font.)

Brooke, cousin, age 5 – The Day I Swapped my Dad for Two Goldfish by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.

Caden, cousin, age 1.5 – The Complete Adventures of Curious George by H.A. Rey.

Samantha, cousin, age <1  – A Cinderella storybook from Disney. Big pictures and short sentences.

Jameson , cousin, age <1 – Some quirky little book by Raffi about fish and counting.

Anything else interesting? Oh, I saw I Am Legend which was fairly good except for the seemingly tacked on, religious ending. More on that later.
