What I got for Sinterklaas this year

Here in the Netherlands we celebrate something called Sinterklaas (yeah, click it for a wiki ;) ) every 5th of December. My wishlist this year was a little longer than usual (I always realise I am a pretty satisfied person when I am making a wishlist :P ), anyway, I got some nice presents.

One thing I really liked was the ‘CSS bible’ aka ‘the Zen of CSS design’ (by the guy that runs csszengarden and mezzoblue, Dave Shea, and M. E. Holzschlag).
I think it’s a rather fantastic book (at least it looks that way, but I should not judge the book by it’s… eh.. look), but I won’t get much time to read it before Christmas because my school is bothering me with an unusually excessive amount of work.
I got an issue of Computer Arts, which I think is a really nice magazine (but I have to wait until my subscription to another magazine expires before my parents allow me to get a new one). Anyway, they always add a nice CD with each issue so that will probably keep me entertained for a couple of weeks. :)
Furthermore, I got a CD with some good dance music, and I got a goat ( a Novib Goat, to be exact). Novib, a (Dutch?) charity, does this special campaign that lets you buy someone a goat (or something else), but the goat is then given to someone in a third-world country who could use it well. I think it’s a fun (or at least an original) way of ‘giving a present’.
