Here's to an amazing 2008 & the unexpected things we all will face to during the new year, especially GOOD things!

[Kfamr]

My most favorite gift was being able to see my grandpa HOME for the holidays. He also got dentures and was able to eat my grandma's homecooked meal and even went back for seconds. :D :D He was able to eat a peice of my mom's "famous" pecan pie. He was not able to do that on Thanksgiving. :D

[jennielynn1970]

This is going to sound really pathetic, but I didn't really want/need anything, and so we made an agreement to not do gifts this year. We did them in our own ways anyway, lol...

My mom and dad got me:
2 jugs of litter (I asked for litter...I'm not kidding)
a playset for the cats
an electric skillet/frying pan for my stews and stuff
2 packs of steaks to put in the freezer for my outdoor grill I bought last year
1 box of jumbo shrimps wrapped in bacon (anything wrapped in bacon is better!)
Bag of homemade slim jims from the butcher shop (not greasy and gross like the store bought ones).

Got a compliment from my mother, and to be honest, that meant the world to me. Kinda makes me teary.

I was happy just doing for others. Gave away a ton of extra bags of flour, sugar, peanutbutter and stuff on Freecycle yesterday. Figured others could use some now, and it will just sit around here. The woman who took the flour and sugar and peanutbutter gave me some of her homemade dog treats since she saw that I do rescues.. so nice, since she didn't have to give me anything... Freecycle is all in spirit of doing for others and recycling.

All in all it was a good day, and it was because it was spent with my family without arguing for once, lol, and we all just appreciated being together.

[Catty1]

Kay - how wonderful your Grampa could really enjoy the food this year! His health must have been a wonderful Christmas gift! :) Good to hear this news.

[carole]

As we have so many birthdays from october onwards to xmas we don't do big on the xmas gift thing, besides i had my 50th birthday and got awesome gifts, so i was really spoilt rotten anyhow.

Also this year we are saving for the trip for my kids to the gold coast Australia, so we had a limit.

I got my son and his partner a microwave as they really needed one, not an expensive one either, and they got a large toberlone chocolate each.

For melissa, well she wanted two second hand ps 2 games, which we bought off trademe, like your ebay, and a thirty dollar movie gift card and some chocolates, i also got her three new tops, so i consider them xmas gifts as well.

For my niece and nephew i gave them two movie tickets and for my great nephew a toy cell phone.

Hubby needed a new T shirt, so that was his xmas gift,so as you can see not a lot of exchanging of gifts.

Let me tell you what i got for my birthday though, my sister gave me this beautiful white gold heart necklace with small diamonds, love it to bits, i told her i loved heart shaped jewellery of any kind and she remembered, my parents gave me $400, which i have spent on some new clothes and some expensive earings white gold and gold circles, my son and partner gave me 50 dollar vouchers to spend at the mall, and my daughter gave me 50 dollars which i put towards the earings, my girlfriend gave me a 50 dollars jewellery voucher, and i still have some money left to spend as well as my son's vouchers and friends jewellry voucher, and of course hubby and i went to the America concert and stayed at the five star luxury resort, which was a present to both of us for our 50th birthdays..,my great nephew gave me a cute cat notebook and some white chocolate kittens,(good choice for a one year old he he) and my niece and nephew gave me this awesome photo frame with 50 on it and everyone signs it, i had my cake at our xmas function and got this neat birthday plate, which i can use for everyones birthdays from now on, so you can see i was very lucky indeed.

My parents gave me a $200 check for Christmas which I used today to buy the following at Kohl's:

1 pair of Gloria Vanderbilt twill pants in black with muted stripes
1 pair of Gloria Vanderbilt twill pants in dark brown

BC132,

It's funny you should ask that questions. I've been thinking about that and, after looking at the list I made, I would have to say nothing I wanted or needed. When people ask me what I want for Christmas, why don't they listen???

Although there IS one thing I got and his name is Ari.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c358/deploss13/DCP_3357.jpg?t=1198938699

Sorry BC, it's been a pretty lousy holiday for me this year. Don't mean to put a crimp in your thread. I hope you had a great holiday and got everything you asked for.

[Lori Jordan]

I don't ever ask for anything for Christmas,I enjoy watching people open gifts that i got them,It is much more enjoying..

This year i got..

Pot and Pan set
triffle bowl
Crockpot Grill
Ice Cream maker
$80
All new utencils

[jazzcat]

I got several wonderful gifts this year. My brother's went overboard on me and my husband with a new HD DirecTV receiver and a year subscription of DirecTV High Definition plus one brother got me 6 months membership to Netflix and the other got me a Magic Bullet.

One of the best gifts was a handmade cedar birdhouse from my Dad. Some of you know he has Dementia/early Alzheimer's and I take care of him but this fall a new doctor put him on a new drug (Namenda) and he is doing better, well enough to make a few little things in his woodworking shop. I will cherish that birdhouse! :)

[Kalei]

Wow, everyone got such great gifts! Looks like Santa did well this year on his gift making :p

I got:

From my parents: A brand new stylish wintercoat that I love.
Some nice black winter boots.

Some pj's
A Gold ring with my birthstone in it.

From my bf:

This is amazing...my boyfriend bought a big brown body pillow. Then he went and bought material with horses all over it. He got his mom/sister to teach him how to use the sewing machine. And he sat for hours and sewed a horsey pillowcase together to fit the huge body pillow. And he did an excellent job on it. It looks perfessional. But its definately one of the best gifts I've ever got!

[Alysser]

I got a cruise to the Bahamas and Florida for my Christmas gift. It was basically for the whole family and it sure was amazing. I got some souvenirs and gifts but I liked spending time with my family and around nature and animals. I got really close to some really cool animals. It was one of the best experiences I've had.

I also got:
-$105
-1 Atlantis resort t-shirt
-2 bahamas t-shirts
-a really nice bracelet
-a Norwegian Cruise line T-shirt that I absolutely love
-an electronic pug that looks like it's sleeping and it actually breathes. :p
-a necklace and earing set.
-the best part was the cruise.

I'll post pictures as soon as I upload them. :)

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Wow, Alyssa! The cruise sounds like it was a blast! When I was 12 (I think) we went on a Disney Cruise (so much fun) and we stopped at the Bahamas, and Atlantis! It's sooo pretty, and cool!

Souds like everyone had a great Christmas! :)

[ChrisH]

One of the best gifts was a handmade cedar birdhouse from my Dad. Some of you know he has Dementia/early Alzheimer's and I take care of him but this fall a new doctor put him on a new drug (Namenda) and he is doing better, well enough to make a few little things in his woodworking shop.
