Among my Christmas presents were a duplicate DVD and a Barnes & Noble gift card. So I got to have my own little mini-Xmas last week.
From the DVD I got myself the Animal House Double Secret Edition and the Blues Brothers (the original one, not the craptastic sequel) as a combo pack.
The gift card got me most of the way toward The Silmarillion, which seemed like a natural follow-up to having read Lord of the Rings.
That's the nice thing about gift cards: I'm all but guaranteed to like what I get.
