It was a very non-materialistic Christmas at casa az this year – mostly because I’m broke. So I wasn’t able to get gifts for anyone, although I did get myself some Elixir perfume early in December and also made a couple of nice festive meals for me and Nog (though we didn’t end up with bogavantes).

But I did get a few nice gifts from friends, including the amazing Night Before Christmas book from Teuchter and these two surprises – some fab Simon’s Cat fridge magnets from Sara & Steve and a lovely set of Japanese toiletries from dragonqueen in a happy green box (she also threw in a stripey catnip sardine for Loki – click on the pic to enlarge) which I opened up in a neighbourhood octopus bar, as you do.

Last but not least, I also received Paypal gifts from Sledpress and Mudhooks, which I was told to use on anything special I wanted. Thanks guys – you covered this week’s vet bills and helped me take care of Azar, which was a very special gift indeed.

I actually think this was one of my best Christmases ever.
How was yours?
