Things go better with
If you're reading this, we've both survived another Christmas.
It was an unusually mild Christmas day in Perth, which meant we skipped the usual mid-morning swim in the pool and lounged around the house instead. A relaxed day spent with family and friends, the way Christmases should be.
Apparently controversially, we cooked the ham for lunch in a Coke glaze. It was surprisingly nice, not overpoweringly Coke-ish, just a faintly sweet taste to counter the salty ham.
And this year didn't bring much in the way of weirdly inappropriate or bizarre gifts (something that's equal parts good and bad really). The best I can do there is probably the instructions that came with a monocular (the gift being quite handy itself). It's a tube you look through, with one focus dial -- not really worthy of four pages of instructions in my opinion.
So tell me. What inappropriate/weird presents did you get? And was there any controversy in your Christmas day?

No controversy... but how's this for one cool Chrissie present: http://flickr.com/photos/kaysmoljak/77368646/

I got a Flying Spaghetti Monsterism T-shirt. It says "Touched by his noodly appendage".

By the way, my present wasn't inappropriate. Just cool and weird.

That's a fantastic tshirt Lucinda, I wish I had one of them. But a shirt that I got does come close - it's got the greek pi character on the front which, upon closer inspection, is made up of all decimal places of pi. I'm estimating about the first 10 000, give or take (what's a few places of pi between friends?).
