Christmas Loot

Inspired by Mike I decided to do a loot post. I started a thread on the message board I frequent most, and it seems only fair to do it here. Be warned it is a video game Christmas.

The wife and I have been saving change, and putting aside money since March to get a next gen console and some games. So we got a next gen system, and I gave the wife a bunch of my budgeted fun money over a couple of months to get me games. So without further ado*:

Christmas Candy box. My new years resolution last year to give up candy. I had the leftover Halloween candy, a chocolate bar on Thanksgiving, and I'm giving myself 2 weeks of candy eating from Christmas to my Birthday (Jan 10th). This had a 330 pice red vines, chocolate of many types (notably chocolate oranges, and chocolate covered peanuts and raisins. Starting the day after my birthday, back to no candy.

A complete set of Bruce R McConkie's Messiah Series (The Promised Messiah, the Mortal Messiah Vol 1-4 and the Millennial Messiah. This was purchased with Christmas money - Our Gospel Doctrine (Sunday School) teacher has been using bits from these books and I wanted to read them. Hard to find online (at collector's prices). Found it at a local bookstore, their last copy. They said it was a tough one to get in. Reading now, and it is really really cool. :)

* I got the wife a number of Video games too, but this is a post for my loot.
