I was very fortunate to receive my gift early this year and was horrible in not posting sooner.

My Santa was able to find some great items in my Amazon wish list that made me very happy. It's great having a wish list as it lets me place things there that I want to get for myself in the future as well as share when friends are looking for gift ideas.

I'm a big fan of the YouTube/Podcaster CGPGrey and one of his videos was lovely based on a controversial book: Guns, Germs, & Steel. It's anthropological look at human history and why some areas of the world developed differently than others. I've very excited to be reading this book.

Our family also loves boardgames. Me and my wife play as regularly as possible and we've got our 4 year old daughter playing as well. She loves to play Zombie Dice and we've got another game that teaches coding skills that she loves.

Sleeping Queens was a game recommended by a good friend and it too was added to the wish list.

We've played it once so far with my daughter and she's intrigued by it even if she's not too sure what everything does. The game is rated for 8+ so I'm not going to be too fussy she's not mastered the game yet.

This year's Arbitrary Day has been wonderful.

Thank you so much!
