Oh let's see...

From my dad and family:
$50
My dad is fixing my car in place of the other $50 he usually gives me.
Christmas candy (Which I helped them make )

From my grandparents:
$25 and a sweet card.

From my mom:
Christmas dinner
Hello Kitty pajama pants
Socks
A really adorable Hello Kitty necklace
A new keychain for my car keys (It's a flip flop!)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Brennan (though he was really early LOL)

From my neighbors down the street:
Socks (I really like socks, so I was excited)
A necklace
Clip things (like potato chip bag clips, but they're lips!)
Marshmallow snowman thing

And the pets got all kinds of goodies too. I spent some of my Christmas money on them and my neighbors got Lily and Brennan little bones to chew on.

ETA: My friends made me presents... One of them made me a Christmas ornament, and the other one made me these cute little necklace things.

Got some great things, and all things I can't wait to use! The best gift so far is from David, my husband. He got me three sets of ticket pairs to Dallas Summer Musicals! The shows he chose are Memphis, Peter Pan and Mamma Mia!. He's going to Memphis and Peter Pan with me, but I'll take a friend to Mamma Mia!, as that's one he's not interested in. Super cool gift! I have a gift from my parents and another gift from him waiting to be unwrapped tomorrow night, when it'll be just the three of us at home.

Some other things I got!

Dutch oven
kitchen slicer (can't wait to julienne some butternut squash!)
collapsible colander
a book on finance (one of the family members got a lot out of reading it, so she gave it to all of us, I love when people do that! no better gift than sharing knowledge that benefited your life!)

Clara made out like a bandit, of course. Her big gift from the family is a Radio Flyer tricycle that will grow with her. Right now, it has a steering handle that an adult uses, and eventually she can pedal herself around. It's really neat.

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas!

I got:

THE FLU!!!

Two days of misery. I drank ice water and chomped on cold celery. Was terrified if I went to my cousin's house I'd infect everyone, and missed out on a beef tenderloin dinner, so I stayed put. My cats kept me company though.

The GOOD news is, I also got:

A $200 gift card from Land's End: my brother

with that I bought a GPS for my car (for all those freaking animal abuse cases being heard around the state); a new pair of hiking shoes; a combo video/digital camera (for my grandson) and a whole bunch of other little things.

A Black & Deck Dust Buster (my 20 year old DB crapped out about 6 months ago and I've had to sweep the kibble that my cats drop on the carpeting)

$15 Dunkin Donuts gift card: From my BFF

My CATS got a ceramic water fountain (from me) and they LOVE it, although Bad @$$ Buddy does still insists on a "sippy" from the CERAMIC bathroom sink.

[Catty1]

I got a kitten calendar for my mom. A last minute "from Santa" gift, but it was cute and we oo'd through the pics.

As she has felt she is a humanist more than a religious person, I also got her a copy of "The Good Book - A Humanist Bible". (Info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Book_%28book%29)

From her I got a new cervical pillow (for the neck) made of memory foam, a slipcover for the pillow, and a set of new sheets and pillowcases. The latter aren't inexpensive and I sure appreciated them!

I also got a pair of trousers, nice turtleneck and cowl sweater to go over it. Lovely!

And Mom and I had dinner at Denny's. It was great - real turkey, and just enough of everything, plus a light dessert.

A friend of mine got me a $25 grocery store card. Wonderful!

I got time with my 78-year-old mom for Christmas. Priceless.

I got a:
*watch
*3 gift cards to Target
*three book set of I Can Haz a Cheezburger...too cute!!
*CaNdY!!! 2 packages of 1/2 pound Reese's....that's a total of 2 pounds!!
*Pj's, gloves and overnight bags
*Bruce helped me get my new car I got on the 14th

But the one thing that actually made me cry (happy, sentimental tears) was my mom took my baby blanket that a cousin or friend (can't remember) made for me before I was born and replaced the backing on it. The backing was so worn out it was all ripped up. She took new fleece and sewed it on and then pain-stakingly replaced a ton of little yarn knots on every corner of every single square on the blanket. The blanket has 2 inch squares all over it in all different colors. I opened that box and just burst into tears. I never thought she'd do that. She always mentioned doing it, but never had time. That was the BEST gift of all.....besides spending time with family.
