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.

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!
I was fortunate enough to receive from my parents:
A purple scarf
2 pair of fluffy socks
a package of dish towels
4 bath towels
a package of face cloths
a light blue sweater
Cali and Diego received from my parents:
2 packages of Whiskas Temptations
I gave my dad a weather station. My mom a blue long sleeve tshirt, scarf that I crocheted, framed photo (that I took) of a blue jay in their fir trees all covered with snow and a full size umbrella.
I haven't received my big present yet. I'm waiting for Donna to ship me her old laptop computer, and a RAZR cellphone. Donna is great!
Was given some money to get what I want so bought books in a series I was reading though spent more than I was given to get the rest of the series. I got a cup for Pua and a scented candle. 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.

From parents:a purse I'd been wanting and a bottle of Hypnotic Poision
Co-workers:home interiors candle-bath and body works gift set-foot stuff from Avon-some nice warm fuzzy socks

Poor Anna,
You must have been so miserable. :(
I had an upset stomach, but from indulging in to many sweets.
I was a good girl this year and got a beautiful ring from my BF.
The family drew names and my neice gave me a Macy's gift card.
I got a snuggle blanket and funny looking gigantic socks too.
AND CANDY, Rice crispie treats, Frosted Brownies and I washed them
all down with egg nog. Now you see why I had an upset stomach. :p
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
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! :)
Yes, he does! I laughed like crazy when he gave them to me.:D:D:D
But they're needed...when Binky "goes", he can clear out a room!
