My main present was a Dell Inspiron laptop, complete with printer, corel paint shop pro and lots of other accessories! We're still working on setting up the wireless internet connection on it, but soon I'll be accessing PT via it! It really is a great present and I'm very grateful for it.

I got quite a few clothes too. I have pictures but I uploaded them to my laptop, so maybe I'll post them another time. Basically I got a pair of Prada ankle-boots, some faith flat shoes, black leggings, one of those long jumpers that's in fashion right now, a complete Pineapple range outfit in brown complete with little wooly hat. :p I also got a really soft dressing gown and slippers!

I got two DVDs, POTC 2 and The Da Vinci Code. I watched The Da Vinci Code on my laptop today and I'm so amazed at how good the screen quality of it is.

Of course, I got loads of chocolate, bath accessories, make-up, books, etc, and £50 cash (a little less than I usually get due to the laptop being expensive ;) ). It was a great Christmas!

[ramanth]

I was not expecting anything since I did not have a lot to give, but I ended up being spoiled as always. I love it all. :)

Avatar the Last Airbender King Bumi figure
4 Disc Special Edition of Narnia
Evanescence - The Open Door CD
Faux diamond and sapphire earrings (that match my wedding band)

His big gift to me was an Oceanic Systems 39 gal "Chameleon lounge" tank for my two adult male cresteds, along with two Exo-Terra Amapallo plants (one large and one medium) as well as three Exo-Terra Vines (two medium and one fine) and a cool looking two-tiered aquarium rock formation. We emptied out the 20 gal normal aquarium they were using and added their old supplies in the new tank with their new supplies and it looks very jungle like with the new set-up. I've been wanting to upgrade their home for a while and now we did!

Their old tank was 24L x 17H x 12.25W. The new one is 30.25L x 24.75H x 12.5W. A vast size difference to see side by side, and it still fits perfectly on the dresser top the old one sat on. I'll be posting photos in Pet General. :D

I LOVE gift cards.
Since John isn't working, we made a pact years ago , no gifts. Same deal with all my friends since we see each other all the time, pay dinner bills back and forth etc, plus a lot of their kids are getting married this year.

John's son and DIL gave us some neat cooking items, small but needed as I like to cook. I haven't had a working oven for over a years so I'm saving for a new one.

My brother gave me a total surprise of $$, after we made a No gifts deal. (I deserve it though! :p :D ))

Went to parties on Dec 24/25 so I was kept busy so I wouldn't funk out. I really did have fun, though.

Ralph got it for me, from a Site Dukedogsmom posted in Marketplace. That thread is here (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=108977)

[GreyhoundGirl]

A few awesome things from cafepress. One says "adopt a black greyhound, dreaming of a home" and it has an adorable picture of a black greyhound sleeping. The other says dance like no one's watching. It has a grey greyhound in a tutu.lol. :p

Other than that a lot of POTC "junk". :p A piece of aztec gold, a few italien charms and earings, one has a compass the other has a key and P.

I got a hilarious book "how to live with your neurotic dog" It's hilarious, I would reccomend it. And I got the best book ever, LEO a greyhounds tale. I loved it. :D

[ramanth]

Thanks Amy! Good job Ralph. ;) :D

[cassiesmom]

My whole family went together and gave me a digital camera. The same one as Wenisrubber, the Canon 540. I am NOT a very good photographer. The high school in the district where I live has a class in the adult education division every semester, digital photography 101, so I'll be signing up as soon as spring enrollment starts.

Cassie got a new package of treats. Thank you, Grandmeowmie!

GreyhoundGirl, PotC was on television Christmas night- I was loading the dishwasher and kind of half watching it -- and I thought of you! I wasn't a big Johnny Depp fan till I saw it. Now I am!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I got a whole lot of baby things. That's all I wanted. My parents had a blast shopping for their first grandchild. My sister made the cutest little hat for the baby, I absolutely adore it. I got baby things from my friends and Justin's parents too.

Justin's parents also got me some other great things- a few DVDs, a CD, and some things for the house.

The best Christmas present though is that Justin, his dad, and his uncle are working on the new bird room. I can't wait until it's finished. It hopefully should be ready for the birds to move into by next week. There will be a few little things that won't be done by next week, like the plumbing, but that can be worked on while the birds are in there.

My gransparents must have been cleaning out their liquor cabinet in preparation for their move, cause they did the same. We got a bottle of Whiskey that has a sticker (seal around the cap) on it from 1977. At this point, do you drink it, or make it a family heirloom?
