What do you get when you cross Christmas with lots of yarn and fabulous patterns?

My annual challenge has arrived: Find Christmas presents for all of my friends while staying within my (rather lacking) budget.
And in my ruminations on how exactly to attain presents for approximately twenty plus people, I realized I could (as they say) kill two birds with one stone.
Remember when I was looking for good knitting patterns, because of my surplus of super nice yarn? Well, it's okay if you don't. But now I've decided to provide for half of my christmas presents by knitting them awesome things. And by awesome, I mean awesome. And easy.

In my search for a koala bear pattern (for a friend of mine who heavily resembles a koala bear. He's also Jewish, but I'm still giving him his present on Christmas, especially since Hannukah starts today, and I haven't even started it), I found a site with a list of fun animal patterns, and I've taken a good lot of ideas from there.
So, lo and behold...
my project list for the next three weeks:

A little Koala
Probably a Tree Ornament
Finger Puppets. BEST GIFT EVER.
Probably more ornaments. Piggy?
And the best one yet: DINOS
On top of this, I'm starting a hat and a scarf so that I don't freeze this winter.
All in all, I ought to be happily knitting very soon.
