My older daughter, Jessica, made it for me. It took a long time. Also, because she had to use some computer magic to order the thread to do the hand-stitching, she now knows, scientifically, exactly how grey my hair is… sigh…

Some of you are thinking; why do you want a pillow with your face on it? You are obviously new around here. I am the guy who is carving a tiki that looks exactly like my gravatar image… nobody loves my face like I do.

Others among you are saying to yourselves; hey, that picture looks familiar. That is because she used this image…

Yes, it is the picture from my awesome business card. It is also a photo of me that was taken on Maui, where my wife and I went for our second honeymoon, and I blogged all about it.

I got lots of other cool stuff too. A Donald Trump paper doll book that makes fun of him! No way. We will have fun with that when I get back to San Diego. I might make some ‘special’ outfits for him. It will be a nice change from all the Photoshop pics I do making fun of him. And I got a new power tool… to help me make tikis faster… and speaking of tikis…

The two tikis I gave my mom a long time ago are wearing their Christmas finery!

I love the idea of incorporating pagan bits into a religious festival that is already a mishmash of Christian and pagan rituals. Anyway, I got other cool stuff too, and it was an awesome Christmas, and there are lot more adventures coming… but really… how do you top this?
