      <title>What I got for Christmas!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;We had a really great Christmas Eve/Day here in the Heon household. On Christmas Eve my parents, brother, and his girlfriend swing over along with my in-laws and aunt. It&amp;#8217;s always pretty fun, the kids always on overload.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s the list (I think this is everything):&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Liquor to stock my bar (Bombay Gin, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Ketel One Vodka, and some Baileys)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Xbox games (Forza Motorsport and Jade Empire)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;DVDs (I-Robot, Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, and the Mask of Zorro)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Taupe colored LL Bean Mocs (these are wonderful, I have a brown pair and wear them all the time)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Individual serving French Press (for tasty coffee)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Portable air compressor&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Slingshot Camera Bag (the big one, this is great)&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Cash (always a good gift)&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m sure I forgot something, and if I did, I&amp;#8217;m sorry to whomever gave the gift.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;With the cash I ordered a bunch of photography equipment. I have been wanting to get a serious of must-have filters so I finally took the plunge and ordered them from &lt;a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com"&gt;B&amp;#38;H Photo Video&lt;/a&gt; the other day. After much reading and deliberation I decided to go with the Cokin A Filter System to get everything I needed/wanted with maximum creativity. I also ordered a new book from Amazon on photography.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The filters that I decided to go with this time include:&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Circular Polarizer Glass Filter&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Warming (81EF) Filter&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Sunset 1 Filter&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Grey Graduated G2 Resin Filter&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Gradual Blue B2 Soft Filter&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday we went shopping for new living room furniture. Hoping that today or tomorrow I&amp;#8217;ll have my bonus check in hand and can head out to order our new furniture.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Also hoping to get out to see Narnia today with the kids and maybe swing out to see King Kong tomorrow or Saturday without the kids.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
