the official What did you get for Christmas thread? :)

I was not expecting anything since I did not have a lot to give, but I ended up being spoiled as always. I love it all.

From Husband Andy:
Two dress shirts
A skirt
A pair of jeans with a dragon embossed onto them
Avatar the Last Airbender King Bumi figure
4 Disc Special Edition of Narnia
Evanescence - The Open Door CD
Faux diamond and sapphire earrings (that match my wedding band)

His big gift to me was an Oceanic Systems 39 gal "Chameleon lounge" tank for my two adult male cresteds, along with two Exo-Terra Amapallo plants (one large and one medium) as well as three Exo-Terra Vines (two medium and one fine) and a cool looking two-tiered aquarium rock formation. We emptied out the 20 gal normal aquarium they were using and added their old supplies in the new tank with their new supplies and it looks very jungle like with the new set-up. I've been wanting to upgrade their home for a while and now we did!

Their old tank was 24L x 17H x 12.25W. The new one is 30.25L x 24.75H x 12.5W. A vast size difference to see side by side, and it still fits perfectly on the dresser top the old one sat on. I'll be posting photos in Pet General.
