I received the extreme joy of knowing the dog liked the $2 orange monkey I bought him better than the huge, crazy-looking, expensive octopus my sister gave him

(We don't have young kids in the family anymore, so the dog gets spoiled instead

)
Oh, and I got the usual clothes, a little cash, etc... My aunt gave all us guys nice ties she picked up on her cruise near Italy this year too.
And of course, since none of my bosses really drink, they gave me all the booze the clients brought in this year
