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.
