I went all the way home for Christmas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt....

Not really. But of everything that I did get, I think my oldest brother's gift is definitely one of my favorites:

Yes, I know it's backwards in the picture. But it proves my brother loves me. (And just in case you can't read backwards, it says "Property of Colbert Nation."*)

But the real irony is that this is what I almost got him as well, but decided not to. Now I really, really wish I had.

*it's even printed on soft American Apparel cotton.
