It was a pretty good haul this year at the StaggerLee house. My Birthday is two days before Christmas, so in all I got: Seats on the glass for the Blues v Lightning last week. A book about Prince. A new Blues t-shirt. An AWESOME Yankees shirt (has copies of tickets from all of the World Series they won on the back) Ultimate Prince 2 CD set. Forgetting Sarah Marshall on DVD. a couple of other shirts. a cool Prince shirt. a framed lithograph of the tickets from the World Series (like the back of the shirt)
And, from my fiance's grandmother, who I have met twice in three years, a great New York Giants t-shirt.
