What did everyone get this year? I was surprised with an orange Flip Ultra (a small video camera) I didn't think we could afford it this year. :D My little sister told me I was getting an 'Imaginaaaaation' box from Spongebob but I guess a camera comes close. :D

I think this year's theme was "Let's see if I can make Mom cry". Happy tears, though. My son Glenn gave me a calendar w/a pic of each of my Fur Posse on each month w/captions. My RB Puddy was on the cover and as soon as I unwrapped it, I started bawling and I mean really bawling. He said "Well, I feel just great now". I sobbed "No, honey, it's great, really!" ROTFLMAO! I just really miss that little calico queen and when I saw her pic, it hit me.

He also gave me a CD of Donovan who was popular at the height of the Viet Nam war and the flower power movement. I LOVED him and his hit songs "Sunshine Superman" and "Season of the Witch". Well, when I played it while in the shower, I bawled again because it brought back so many good memories, one of which is when my nephew Roger, who is actually older than I, just got a brand new car, a Road Runner, and he showed up at my house unexpectedly and asked "Wanna go for a drive?" He had his best friend Chaz w/him, whom I'd had a crush on when I was a pre-teen. My best friend Bonnie was w/me at my house, so the four of us went for a drive in the country on the most beautiful summer day of the year. "Sunshine Superman" came on the radio and Roger cranked it up and rolled all the windows down because he knew how much I like Donovan. So there we were, four young and fresh faces, riding around listening to the drug culture music. LOL

My son also gave me a really good Canon camera (I'll have to tell you what kind later. I'm such a doink.) He said "For our trip to England, Mom". Made me cry again. And we have tickets to see the Transiberian Orchestra next Tuesday and we're going to have dinner in Cleveland. It'll be a fun night.

He gave me miscellaneous other stocking stuffers but these were the biggies that made me so nostalgic and happy. I have a good son, the best, actually. :love:

My dear mum knows me too well. I asked her not to buy me anything. She, being the stubborn woman she is, ended up buying me a few things anyway.

- All seasons of Star Trek: The Original Series on DVD
- The complete Monty Python's Flying Circus on DVD

I don't like watching tv much at all, both those are two series I absolutely adore. :love:

She also donated $500 to my College Fund. In my 3rd year of college I plan to transfer to a private one to finish off my education. I can get a scholarship to pay for half of the tuition, but the other half I will have to come up with on my own. I think it is worth it, though. :-)



He also gave me a CD of Donovan who was popular at the height of the Viet Nam war and the flower power movement.

Its wonderful to see another fan of Donovan on PT! Even though I was born after his reign I still think he is fantastic. In fact, I have recently been working on a portrait of him. I got about halfway through before putting it on the back-burner.

Hubby and I did not do xmas pressies for each other this year, we have had a lot of expenses lately, and besides i had a birthday five days before xmas and was so spoilt then,so no matter.

We gave the kids money and some little bits and pieces, perfume for my daughter.movie card,burger king vouchers that sort of thing, and I bought some lovely books for my great nephew.

We did get some nice chocolates cadbury milk tray, not opened yet, not bad for a confirmed chocoholic lol.,we ate the other ones son and girlfriend Amber gave us for xmas, we got them early,and melissa gave us forty dollars petrol vouchers, very handy indeed.

Work disappointed us this year, we usually get a 100 dollar supermarket voucher, big fat zero this year, and they have not paid out their bonuses either, so not a good year, still keeping his job is the best present ever i think in these hard times.

Actually both hubby and I were unwell xmas day, so it was not great, but both better today, we did have my parents over for a cafe style xmas lunch, with homemade goodies i made, xmas muffins, and chocolate peppermint slice, with cibatta (sp) garlic bread, club sandwiches,chocolate cheesecake,strawberries and grapes and savoury mince,potato top and bacon and egg quiche mini pies,and although we planned to go to our favourite buffet restaurant tonight for dinner, we had to cancel,never mind,maybe again next year.

I really wasn't too into Christmas. This year has been crappy so the holidays are just really upsetting. I've also found in recent years that I give far far far far more than I ever get. While I love to give, it's very disappointing when someone can't think of you.

Parents:
Shampoo & Conditioner
Razors
Martini Set
Gift cards: Walmart & Pet Supermarket


Sister:
Photo frame
Digital photo keychain


Brother:
nothing

Grandma:
$20 and candy

I also got gifts from Amy and Anna. Thank you both very much. It's a good feeling when you have friends that think of you, even if you guys are miles and miles away. :love:

A John Lennon Biography from my brother, and money

A 2009 Wizard of Oz calendar from John's son's in- laws

A dog book from John's youngest son and his gf.

Don't need much or want much. As long as my 95 y.o. uncle is doing OK and Mz Logan is healthy, I can't ask for more. I didn't mention anyone else because my 2009 resolution is to stop being a pushover and worrying about everybody all the time, and take care of myself because I developed an awful ulcer. I have enough problems and I need to love me as much as I do others.

From Mom - men's flannel jammie pants. She said I had commented on how comfy they are...I did??? LOL But no matter, they are great and I love to have them! It'll be winter for a while yet here!

AND a new hoodie with zipper...lovely!

And a new recycle bin! She just brought out this tall black Rubbermaid garbage can with the swinging lid with a bow stuck on the top and I just cracked up! :D I have 5 of them right now, for paper, carboard/newspaper, mixed plastics, foil/metal and returnable bottles. I guess this one is for plastic bags!

And 5 stick-on hooks for all my keys...and a nice top, burgundy all-in-one shirt and little sweater over it.

And home cooked turkey and all the trimmings!

From Medusa - this incredible collection of white chocolate "turtles" made with macadamia nuts with chocolate stripes, toffee with dark chocolate on one side and milk on the other, little squares of it; and little milk chocolate cashew clusters. I have sampled SOME of it, and it is GREAT!!!! *urp*

From my good friend Kim - an antique teacup and saucer, packed in layers of foam and bubble wrap, etc....a medium size box that weighed an OUNCE...this teacup is amazing. Yow!

It was a great day, it's a great season! :love::D

I always ask for socks too. Being on my feet all day at work I go through a lot of socks quickly, they get holey. Either that or I lose some to the cat. My family never understands it though. They get me one or two pair of fancy socks when all I want is a big pack of white hanes socks or something. This year I figured I'd just buy my own instead of asking. Couple years in a row and they'll put me in rehab for a non-existant sock fetish.

My family decided that we weren't doing exchanges this year. My brother has been laid off for a few months, and his new job doesn't start till January. My mom and dad have been helping me out, financially, since I've been on sabbatical, so I wasn't expecting anything.

However, that being said, my mom and dad still got me things for Christmas.
Gold's Gym Treadmill
Pads for under the tread mill
Long needle nose pliers (I'm stocking up on hardware, lol!)
Steaks for my grill
Fruit

Also received a beautiful card from them, and I love the message in it.

My father loved the mustards I gave him and tried 5 of the 6 already, lol. The 6th one has to age for a few weeks, so he has to wait on that one. Mom loved the jellied candies that I made her. Well, one of them didn't jell, so I called it Quince Butter (like apple butter). It was really tart and yummy! Since I had bad luck with the quince jelling, I didn't do the apricot jellies, and instead made her an apricot, pine nut and almond breakfast cake, which she absolutely loved.

It was a good Christmas. We had a great time talking and reminiscing, and just being together.

I spent the night disappointed about my presents (hopefully not too selfishly). All I wanted was some thought. I don't care if what somebody got me costed 50 cents, it would have been a million times better to me than a gift card or a fuzzy poster of a cartoon the giver knows I don't even like. And their excuse was they didn't know what to give me, I gave several cheap suggestions under $10. I would have even preferred something homemade over something with absolutely no thought in it. I put tons of thought in what I could get people that would make them truely happy even on a budget. But I don't want to be selfish.

My ex-girlfriend and her family are surprisingly the only ones who put thought into their gifts as much as I do. I got gnome pajamas and a gnome ornament from her mom (I love gnomes), and she got me a rainbow flag and DVD's (If These Walls Could Talk 1 and 2 and Queer Duck) and funny pens and a book of bumper stickers. So now I can be happy again, people thought of me.

Sorry about the mini-rant. I think this all goes back to the fact that my mom hasn't surprised me with a gift since I was a maybe 10 or 12, I've had to go shopping with her and pick out what I want and it really does hurt like she's saying she doesn't care to think about me enough to get me something from the heart. She'd buy me stuff that cost $100, but it never made me happy. It was like her elaborate spending on my birthday would make up for the fact that she didn't spend any time with me. Maybe that's why I have so many collections of which nobody can think of anything to get me. I think I'll wind up a very organized hoarder one day. A place for everything and everything in my place.

Haven't done one of my other friend's exchanges yet, but I'm sure even her husband could think of something more thoughtful than a gift card. I got her a case of super fine glitter for crafting because she eyes it up in the store but won't allow herself to spend $20 on a few tubes of sparkles. Her husband I got a vintage Old Style glass with two handles because I thought he'd be amused and he likes Old Style stuff. I also kept finding thrift store stuff for them like additions to their giraffe collection and two greyhound stuffed animals that look like their greyhound. Thought, and it was simple. And we'd all be just as happy to hang out and watch movies with or without presents.

This is the first Christmas in a long long time that I actually enjoyed. The best gifts of all were being with my wonderful boyfriend & having quite a few family members up for the whole week!
I did get spoiled for the first time in years with materialistic items too. I got a new camera (Kodak easy share Z1285), a new stereo for the dog/computer room, 2 and a 1/2 men dvd set, a few shirts, happy perfume, a super scrabble game, balderdash and a few other things.
I was very grateful for what we all had this year. It was lovely.

I was very spoiled this year, which I was really not expecting. I told everyone not to get me anything, to just buy for Ty, but I got some wonderful gifts.

My wonderful husband got me a Crosby (Penguins) jersey (that I am wearing right now!), a scarf and gloves (that actually matches my purse :eek:) and something I have been wanting for a long time - a garbage disposal! woohoo!!

My parents got me a remote car starter :D I think it's for me AND Ty ;)

We also got some gift cards to a few restaurants and offers for child care so we can have a night or two to ourselves, which sounds wonderful!

Ty got some great gifts too. He got the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (he LOVES Mickey), Mickey indoor tent, money, clothes, books, a table and chair set, blocks, a big stuffed Mickey, and a bunch of other toys. I think we are going to have to build an addition onto the house for all of his toys (and he's only ONE!)

Just a reminder to everyone, use your gift cards soon! I heard on the news that some stores that didn't do well over the holidays are going to be closing - not sure what stores though. I would assume that Wal-mart will be just fine though ;)

Again this year, we all made donations to a needy family and our biggest donation to our local privately owned animal shelter. Last year we all bought things they needed. This year we all gave money.

I love this way to celebrate Christmas. It makes me feel good and we all don't go out and spend alot of money.

My sister did give me a night in St. Augustine to see the lights there. We stayed at the St. Francis Inn(Bed and Breakfast). It's where we stay when we go there. It was a great gift and I thoroughly enjoyed it.:)

My first TATTOO!!! :D

And I got mostly giftcards, which, as much as I appreciate them, I could have used just cash... lol. But I'm so thrilled to spend my $100 gift card to Best Buy, you have no idea!
