The season of giving

Yesterday, went to my cousin's house for a christmas party. played band hero for hours on his xbox 360, and now i cant stop thinking about it. playing the drums is damn fun :) there was also a present exchange, which i feel is a very good christmas tradition. present exchange embodies the spirit of giving so perfectly. you dont know who you're giving to, you dont know who you're receiving from, you dont even know what you're getting or whether it will be worth the trade, but you do so anyway, because of the joy of giving. or at least that's the theory behind it. in reality however, i doubt that few of us go into the present exchange without thoughts of political correctness and social obligation. still, it warms the heart to think about the origins of such traditions once in a while.

guess what, my mom still leaves presents for my brothers and i on christmas eve and insists that it's santa claus when we wake up on christmas morning. of course all of us know that jolly old men with reindeer dont trespass into people's houses every year, but it's just a tongue-in-cheek joke every year. this year, we got wii sports resort (of all the games available for the wii, my mom fell in love with the wii sports series -.-). well, i have to admit it's quite fun in a no-brainer kind of way, and i guess it would be quite a good party game if you had enough controllers to go around, but my mind is still stuck on band hero from yesterday's party! i'd love to get a copy myself, but the entire set with guitar and drums must cost a bomb. and from a practical point of view, even if i start saving up now and buy the game next year, i'll only have a few months max before i have to go for NS -.- maybe i should get DJ hero instead? after all it's only a turntable controller so it has to be cheaper, but i wonder if it'll be as fun as band hero.

oh, and of course how could i forget... Merry Christmas everyone! :)

edit: just saw this pic while surfing the net and loled. im sure this is what most people think of the music i like.
