So what did you get for Christmas?

[luvofallhorses]

From my brother - Celine Dion perfume and body lotion, a nice fleece robe and it came with slippers.



From my parents - a nice necklace from my mom and a little one that says mother/daughter on it we just have to find a nice chain for it, a gift card for Mcdonalds, a pajama shirt, a nice sweater and a shirt to go under it, shoes I asked for..



From my co-worker I got Marshmallow Cream, Candy-cane hot cocoa (my favorite) and a coffee cup you can take anywhere. I got Marshmallow Creme to put in my hot cocoa and it's so good!



From my boss

(the lady who runs the shelter where I work) I got a nice Christmasy throw pillow, a utterly lovable dogs book, some chocolate, peppermint rush chapstick, a energizing fragance thing I have to figure that out, french vanilla hot cocoa, a collar charm for our puppy we adopted that says pure mutt, a cute cat stationary set, a magnetic notepad with reindeer on it, a nice wolf shirt, some candy canes, some treats for my cats and dogs, etc.





So what did you all get for Christmas? :cool:

[Kirsten]

Great gifts! :)


I got Marshmallow Creme to put in my hot cocoa and it's so good!

Sounds wonderful! :D



Well, I had already gotten my biggest gift in advance - a Canon EOS 450D from my parents (it was a combined birthday and Christmas gift)

But as a surprise, I also got three cans of vegetarian spread yesterday, and wrapped around the cans were 50 Euro - for which I ordered a new watch and an mp3 player this morning. :)

From my sister and BIL, I got a new coffee machine, and a cleaning tool for my camera.

And my landlord brought a basket full of food and chocolate. :)

lol that's pretty epic! :D

[CountryWolf07]

I know! :) I've seen him twice, but the last time I saw him was in 2004, it has been a while! What's so cute is that when I heard his song on the radio over the past weekend, I mentioned to him how I loved that song and it was by Phil Vassar, and he had this smile, the "Oh, really?" type of smile, and I just had a feeling I figured out his Christmas gift to me. ;) It's going to be a great night, I'm very excited.

What I really like is that the concert is on the date of our third anniversary as a couple. (Although he likes to insist that our anniversary is actually on the day we 'met')

[Suki Wingy]

Lucky you! I braved a NASCAR race just to see him! (Ok, so the race was fun too. :P)

My family must think I'm getting old--I got a heating pad and a back massage cushion. :p Also Bluetooth headphones, salsas from Frontera Grill in Chicago (yum!), some kitchen do-dads, and a 7" rainshower shower head that I already love to pieces. Maybe I really am getting old if a good soaking shower makes me so happy! :D

That's hilarious, Penny! My son is trying to keep me young so he got me a Wii. Oy vey. :p

[sparks19]

I got a nice scarf, hat and mittens set from my aunt Sandy. it's VERY soft. and I was just saying to Brian that I needed some gloves for driving on cold mornings. and she also gave us her "old" mixer as she got a new one for Christmas and knows I don't have one so she gave it to us. I say "old" it's not old at all LOL. maybe a couple of years old but it's in perfect working condition and looks new. very excited about that.

Hubby and I decided we weren't really going to buy much for each other this year and spend it on Hannah instead :) but we ended up getting ourselves a Wii and I got a book "I, Alex Cross" the latest in the alex cross series from james Patterson. I just finished the last book so now I can start this brand new one WOOHOO That was from hannah :)

my dad is getting us a brand new knife set... I just need to go out and pick out a set :)

and from his parents we got a new electric skillet, a new bed set, I got some great pants and tops, some fuzzy socks, and some stocking stuffers like a really cool emery board... it's four sided and has 8 different types of emery boards on it. very neat.

and a cute little coin purse with a doggie on it from my sister in law :)

[pomtzu]

There really wasn't anything in particular that I asked for, but this is what I got

A decorator pillow with "Grandma" and a poem about grandmothers on it. That was from my granddaughter - and it brought me to tears!
A beautiful matching necklace and bracelet from a dear friend. :p
A neck wrap that you heat in the microwave.
Several pair of fuzzy, warm socks.
Soft and fuzzy lounge pants.
A sweatshirt with a lighthouse and flowers on it.
A lighthouse tree ornament.
A lighthouse figurine that is also a perpetual calendar.
A solar powered lighthouse that will be awesome on my front porch (if we ever see enough sun to charge it).
Assorted candy.
A VISA gift card.
A purple wireless mouse. Yay - and that's the only thing I had asked for!

You may have gotten the idea that I like lighthouses!:)

[jennielynn1970]

All of my presents were given to me before Christmas..

From Dave:
I got a pair of Frye boot clogs (which I love... they look like engineer boots but are clogs!)

I got ventless gas logs for my fireplace, and my favorite...

I got an Electra Betty Cruiser 3sp. bicycle. It's soooo cool!!!! It's black with pink and silver flames on it, a pink and black leather seat, and black leather tassels hanging from the handle bars! :D

From my mom and dad I got a chest freezer for my kitchen. It's practical, and I needed it.

[Moesha]

I love, love, love that bicycle. I've been searching for what seems like forever for the perfect beach cruiser bike. I want coaster brakes though. And since I'm only 5'1", I need a 24" instead of a 26". It has been very hard to find one. I did buy a PT Cruiser bike a few years back, but I couldn't stand it. It was too big and I hated the hand brakes. I love yours though.

[Husky_mom]

I posted a diff thread about Roger in order to not hijack this one ;)...

It does have coaster brakes! I was so excited!!!


Check on Craigslist. That's where we found this one. It was NOT full price!!!

[boomersooner]

We had a nice Christmas, too. In both families, we drew names for the first time, and it was nice. So, I got money, gift cards, and picture frames. Our camera broke, so Mike and I bought a new SLR camera for each other. Our main gift for all of the family, though was our sweet Sooner, our new English Springer Spaniel puppy. We also had the first white Christmas in all of my 48 years.

[K9karen]

From John:A foldable laptop computer table that I can use while sitting up in bed.

From my brother: money
From my niece and family: Gift cert. to The Cheesecake Factory.

But, to me, the best gifts were the compliments for the gifts John and I gave to his grandkids, sons and DIL's. The adults are hard to buy for, they like to pick out their own stuff. (:rolleyes:) But everything was perfect! They called me 2x. No exchanges this time. That thrilled me since we really gave everything a lot of thought.

I love giving gifts, especially if I get it right!

I still go through the "I miss my parents" crying spell every holiday.

All your gifts sound super!

[Queen of Poop]

I was fortunate enough to receive from my parents:
A purple scarf
2 pair of fluffy socks
a package of dish towels

I got some flowers. My brother gave me a watch. A gift card for JC penny(not here yet) and one other gift that hasn't made it yet.

Poor Anna,
You must have been so miserable. :(

[orangemm]

The funniest gift I received was a set of two scented candles from Binky. My husband said that they are to be used when he does the "big stinky"!!:D:D

[Pembroke_Corgi]

The best gift I got was my mom coming to visit for 10 days! We also went on the cog railway up Pikes Peak again this year, and went to the Botanic Gardens light show. Both were really fun! :)
