I am home alone for the next couple of days, so I went ahead and opened mine, from Emily (I think there's only one, but if not, it's Emily A.) I got (these are facsimiles as I don't own a camera):

I got the Peanut Butter ones, and afk and efk sucked up all the rest like Harry Knowles at an open nachos bar

Since I know that Emily's not stalking me, this turns out to be the greatest coincidence ever. I had been carrying this very book around in my car, the public library's version, and I never found the time to read it, and had renewed it the maximum number of times, which meant that I couldn't even reserve it again for 3 months. I grudgingly turned it in a week ago Monday; now it arrives in a package to fill my Christmastime with infinite warmth. I have read 100 pages already, it's a geek's dream! Thank you, Emily.
To all FOTs, past, present, and future; I hope every day in the coming year is as good as the holidays are supposed to be.
Your pal,
