More Christmas.

Ooh, forgot the LED flashlight.

Anyway, stocking.

Turned out I didn't get the chai; my dad had gotten that for himself. But since he doesn't actually drink chai, I had assumed it was for me. :)

Lots of scorfs (mostly [or entirely?] satsuma mandarin oranges).
A toothbrush (which is good, because I've only got a crappy one in Berkeley).
A York peppermint pattie (my mother, by contrast, got about ten of them. And I thought it was spelled "patty," but apparently not, says the wrapper).
A random mechanical pencil, 0.5mm lead (my mother then handed me another).
An ancient pencil with a bubble-blowing thing in the end; but the bubbles have all dried up. I'm figuring it might work if I just add water (TM).
A check for $83.80... from 1999. From our friend Gordon Fain to my mother, paying her back for a copy of Woodhouse's English-Greek Lexicon she bought him. Somehow thinking it's no longer valid.
A little Dia de los Muertos matchbox scene with a female skeleton wearing a sombrero and playing the banjo. I know it's a female skeleton because she's wearing a skirt and has two pigtails.
