Having said that, I did have a bit of fun making Christmas presents this year.
I've never really been a big fan of crazy ridiculous presents- Ok, after age 13 I've never really been a big fan. It is so easy to get caught up in the hype and spend copious amounts of money on what amounts to a pile of goods (most likely manufactured in China) that will end up forgotten or not really needed. So continuing a tradition I started a couple years ago with my nieces and nephews, I tried to make the majority of presents for Family this year. Because I was crazy busy at work (sw:tor launch info! I had a very limited amount of time, but I was at least able to make hats for each of the five kids!

This one is literally the same as Karlee's beret, yarn and everything, except on much smaller needles :)
