The Reason for the Season

Tradition 

At the Teachey household, tradition holds that we open our Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. This started because, when I was younger, I would open my presents from my parents late on Christmas Eve and the next morning I would have presents under the tree from Santa. After catching my mom in a lie at age 8 and realizing Santa was, despite the hard scientific evidence offered by the Santa-Tracker on WRAL, a fraud, I started opening all my presents late on Christmas eve. Well this year I got my first present about a month early and then opened the rest just a few hours ago. Here's how it went:

1. NEW BASS!

The Fender Deluxe Precision Bass Special in navy with a gold vinyl pickguard. Jazz bass neck with maple fretboard. Active P / J Pickups. Flatwound strings. I am madly in love with this instrument. (Pictured above at the Guitar Center in Raleigh shortly after purchase)

2. Record Player

3. Dunks

Sick.

There were a few other things (Clothing, shoes, PEZ dispensers), but these were the biggest and best. My parents kick exorbitant amounts of ass and I got everything I could have asked for this year. Let me know what you got for Christmas!

Ho, Ho
