I hope everyone celebrates the births of Humphrey Bogart and Sir Isaac Newton.  I hope everyone mourns the death of Charlie Chaplin.

 

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

So what Beatley Chrimble presents did you guys get?

I got a Beatles shirt, a Beatles puzzle, a Beatles book, and my brother’s Beatles poster, which I have coveted for years. The only thing that’s missing is music…

Not very Beatley, though it can be made so, I got the Sims 4 Seasons expansion because the wonderful @Ahhh Girl asked me what I wanted for Chrimble, and I unexpectedly got the Sims 4 Get Famous from the wonderful AG when she kicked herself for not using the discount I’d told her to use on Seasons and wanting something to use the discount on. ahdn_john_08_gifahdn_john_08_gifahdn_john_08_gif

My brother and I pitched in to give our dad the White Album box set. It is his favorite albums. I got a John Lennon mug, the Imagine box set, More Blood More Tracks, and a Braves Jersey (Ronald Acuña Jr.) 

very pleased however i am eternally pissed off at my computer for having no memory to import my new music, and my external backup harddrive for deciding to break down on Christmas potentially losing me my entire music collection. On top of that I can’t listen to these sessions until the problem is resolved. paul-mccartney

I received a double-sided Beatles jigsaw puzzle with the White Album cover on the front and the four vinyl sides/labels on the reverse…I was horrified at first, thinking both sides were completely white!

Probably posted this before… it has a clear Beatles reference.

Happy merry Christmas and a merry happy year when it becomes new. Not sure what the days in between are meant to be but most people will be too ready to explode having eaten too much food to be betrothed with such an issue. Hope you had a great time.

Along with various percussion instruments to aid future Beatles covers, I got the Imagine book and a Beatles calendar as the only Beatley things…

So many cool things in the above posts though! Merry Christmas to those who Christmas is now happening, considering I was early when I last said it.

My dad gave me a box of figurines he had when he was a kid. I can’t remember all of them, but I remember there is The Beatles in their normal apparel from YS, The Beatles in their apparel from the end of the movie, The Chief Blue Meanie, Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D, a Snapping Turk, and the flying glove.

Nothing completely Beatley this year, I’m afraid ahdn_george_05 But I did get a electric/acoustic-electric/classical guitar information book that has several pictures of John and George amongst other artists (as well as a few mentions in the text of Paul whenever he’s used a guitar) and the models they used.

I know right?!? It was originally my dad’s, but my brother claimed it many years ago and has had it hanging above his bed for ages. I’ve been begging him for it forever, and he finally caved. heart
