Well, well, well, I had myself a merry little Christmas, and I hope y'all did to. I don't know what the hell people are talking about with a decline in consumer demand, but there certainly weren't no such thing at the Mojo family gathering. Pop's got himself a shiny new printer, the kid sister got a sweet little MP3 player, and the 3-year old niece got a mountain of gifts. I got my much coveted History of Britain (thanks Pops!) along with a collection of John Wayne movies, the collector's edition of the first Lord of the Rings DVD (accompanied by a very nice hardbound and illustrated edition of the ring trilogy) from a good friend, and other fine assorted gifts from many other family / friends. My dork heart sings in happiness.

Everyone else got an assload of miscellaneous crap. Consumer demand indeed.
