I actually got it a month ago. I tried to say "no", but I didn't try that hard, I guess... so, on actual Christmas I got a new pair of Levi's, some macadamia nuts, and some family photos. My nephew got the most stuff... as we told him, more than everyone else combined, but he didn't quite believe it.

The best part was that on Christmas eve day, I got my passport back with my Swiss work visa in it. That's what I really wanted, because trying to sort that out had become a multi-week massive headache and delaying it much longer could have caused me big problems.
