My sister and I made a GingerBauHaus this year.

This is the first year that I made presents for my whole family, which is nice. Mom gets a bunch of new pillows, brother gets a vest, sister gets a skirt/blouse, dad gets a shirt.

In about twelve hours, I'm going to be fairly drunk with my brother, watching Muppets' Christmas Carol.

My gift to you all: I used to make a Christmas CD for my friends every year, here's the cover and track list for the best one I ever made, check it out for some lovely christmas tunes, which I'll add here as I find them.

1. A Very Lo-Fi Christmas

2. Santa Steinberg - Bacio

3. Harsh the Herald Angels Sing - CFTPA

4. Last Christmas - goto80

2. Comparing Ugly Sweaters

5. Lumberjack Christmas - Sufjan Stevens

6. Snowed in on Christmas - The New Anxiety

7. Undone, the Christmas Song - Windsor Park Walkers.

8. Carol of St. Benjamin the Bearded One - Sufjan Stevens

9. Christmas in July in December - The New Anxiety

10. Somewhere in my Memory, Home Alone Theme - Famikiller

3. Hennessy in my Egg Nog

11. Santa Baby - Run DMC feat. Snoop, Diddy, Salt & Pepa

12. Ghostface Christmas - Ghostface Killa

13. Grinch - Busta Rhymes / Jim Carrey

Bonus: Christmas in Harlem, Kanye etc.

4. Jazz and Cocoa

Unfortunately, most of the Jazz part of this comes from "Christmas from the Blue Note", which isn't available to stream anywhere.

16. Medley - Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

18. Christmas Time is Here - Woods

19. Christmas in Oakland - Advance Base

20. Barcarola, You Must be a Christmas Tree - Sufjan Stevens

EDIT: AHH my parents just found the first "clothing" I ever made: A santa suit for my stuffed animal, "Lamby" when I was 8.

I'm such a sucker for gingerbread houses.

Dang. Buckminster Fuller inspired gingerbread housing. Very forward-thinking.
