The carnage the comes with a 3 and 1 year old going mental over over-consumerism has come and gone. Despite my demand that people stop buying me stuff, and spend the money on the two kids, I did manage quite the haul.

Uber happy over my new set of mortise chisels. I have a very cheap and nasty set of inexpensive, old, and inherited rust buckets. These look like they could weather the nastiest of jobs.

I also got a live center kit. I completely forgot that Mom had bought this while I was at KMS months ago. It was a good surprise. My lathe came with the one live center, and had no interesting attachments. Gawd I love gadgets.

Emily seemed quite happy with her chair, but she seemed to want the proparatzi to just go away.

Happy Festivus, and Snow Flake day.
