I got a $50 Walmart gift card from my brother and SIL in Texas. It's more like a credit/debit card so it can be used almost any where.
I got a check for $300 from my parents which I'm using towards payment of my new HP laptop that I bought myself for my b-day/christmas present.
The last two days I've spent a lot of time with parents which is nice because they're getting older and you just never know how much time you'll have with them.:love:
What a wonderful present from your mother, Cindy! I'm practically in tears just reading about it!
A pandora charm, spacer charm and chocolates. Oh and a turkey baster....dont ask.
X mas is only for the kids in this family apparently.
In addition to the pneumonia:
I got a really nice long-sleeve T-shirt from my brother and sister-in-law that has a huge pair of cat eyes on the front and underneath is written "Cat Lady." How so very appropriate is this!
And a lovely scarf from my nephew, who now that he is out of school and working and making money decided he wanted to give presents to people. He's a real sweetie.
A really amazing cuisinart food processor from my daugher, totally shocked it is awesome. This was from my youngest.
My oldest had a grandma poem put on a canvas from my new grandaughters which I just love and had a grandma sweatshirt made that I love, some jammies and I picked out a nice black Tignanello purse for hubby to give me.
I've got some wonderful presents!!
From my hubby I got some books, and............. an "irobot_roomba‑564‑pet" , which is a vacuum robot!! I'm so happy with this, because vacuuming is not an issue for my poor back...
From my son I got a GPS and a kitchen thing with knifes:

From my daughter I got a jewelry box with separate stacks. I got 5 different layers and 1 top layer with closing lid. I can choose how to stack the layers, and I can also buy more!
Lots of goodies.........
Kindle Touch
cover/case and screen protectors for Kindle

But the best gift of all, was having the whole family together - all happy and healthy! :)
I know, I felt kinda silly but I just couldn't help the tears. I took a little nap last night with it. It is so heavy and warm. :)Quote:

A candle from my nephew and niece-in-law
A really pretty picture frame from my co-worker (we drew names)
My brother had me in the family grab bag but he forgot to check his e-mail so... no pressie. I was NOT happy.
Taz-Zoee, what a great gift! Beeniesmom, thank you for the reminder about thank you notes. I need to do those tonight. And I'm with the people who wrote about time with family because I did get a whole day of that and we got along pretty well!
I think your brother owes you a gift. Better late than never!! ;)Quote:

My boyfriend and I didn't really exchange gifts because money was tight. But I got from family:
A Kindle
$20 to a local restaurant
$20 to Olive Garden
new mittens! :)
body lotion, spritz, body wash, etc.
a pizza oven! :)
slippers
a new shirt
I forgot what my boyfriend DID get me...
RINGWORM.
Ugh, I thought he got rid of it. (We both work at a pet store and some of the cats that we received had ringworm. :( ) His has been gone for couple weeks, but we must have missed washing something. :( BOO!
Merry Christmas everyone!
My Christmas came on April 17th of this year.
My biggest gift was $200 towards my plane ticket for Gallifrey One, the Doctor Who convention in LA in February.
I also got nail varnish, a hat, two scarves, a book of Harry Potter themed bumper stickers, and a donation made to WWF.
For our family gift exchange this year the rules were hand made or second hand, so I got an outfit from a consignment shop including a sort of rust colored Woolrich vest, jean shirt, brown knit hat, and brown paisley bandanna.
I am getting myself Niņo's paw print tattooed on my arm, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good clean print for it.
