Hooray for Christmas junk! Silly Putty is cool, but that smell always grossed me out.
We open one gift Xmas Eve, and the rest in the morning. One year, we nagged into being allowed to open all the presents on the 24th. Christmas was so anticlimactic that we went right back to tradition the next year.

Hey matt I was wondering where do you pick up the playmobil advent calender every year. I was at Target and the bithes there were sold out.

When Tom Hanks was doing the talk show circuit a few weeks back for Polar Express, I thought it was too bad no one brought up The Moxy Show. The characters Moxy and Flea were the first regular use of motion capture for animation that I was aware of at the time.

"In 1993 Brad de Graff joined their staff to head the new digital media division. Working with creative director Stuart Cudlitz and animation director George Evelyn they developed several motion capture/performance animation projects including Moxy for Turner, 1994. They wired comic Bob ‘Bobcat’ Goldthwait to electronic sensors and as he moved about and talked computers moved an animated talking dog named Moxy on the TV screen."

"The technology starts at $10,000 to rent and moves upwards to half a million to own so don’t expect it in your living room soon. The most visible motion capture puppet is currently Moxy, the Cartoon Network spokesdog voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait."

We’ve always done stockings, and I gotta tell you, two years ago not only did I get the best stocking stuffer, but the best present of the year. "A Clash Of Kings" by George RR Martin. Don’t know why, out of all the stuff I got that year, that a book was the best gift, but when you hit your 20s, Christmas loses meaning a little more every year. Sad.
