Last night we had our annual family Chanukah get together. This year it was at my brother's house, around the corner from me. We first light the menorah, I used my iPhone Menorah (which is not legit, I lit again when I got home). We then ate dinner which consisted of pizza, lasagna, tuna casserole, salads, chips, and dunkin donuts.

After the food, we gave out the presents. Presents are given out in age order, from youngest to oldest. My family is big into giving presents, we go overboard sometimes.

In any event, let me share with you what I received:

I first got these awesome NY Jets Slippers by Reebok. I needed new slippers and I really like the Jets (they better win this week). Here is a picture, they are much better than my $1.99 Ikea slippers that work on any feet:

I then received an iHome for my iPhone. This is perfect because I have a billion wires on my nightstand by my bed. So this replaces my alarm clock, which I have been using since I was 13 or so and this replaces my iPhone USB charging cable. So I got one less thing plugged into my wall. I then can cleanly dock my iPhone on the top while it charges, which again, de-clutters my night stand.

Feature wise, it has bluetooth integration. So I can dial and answer calls via the speakerphone of the device. This is a time saver for me, cause in the past, whenever I got calls when in bed, I had to either lean over to talk slanted on the phone (cause the charging cable was very short) or disconnect it from charging and the cable would fall under my bed and I'd have to fish it out. Now, I do it wirelessly. It also plays my music from my iPhone, or via AM/FM. It also has two alarm clocks (I need t mess with that more). Anyway, here is a picture.

Oh, I also got a donut!
