What did you get for Christmas?

[molucass]

a new digital camera (and a memory card, a camera case, and a battery charger)
a chihuahua keychain
a digital photo keychain
a pair of eeyore pajama pants
a gag gift lighter.. It's HUGE, bigger than my hand I'm sure
A cute thing to hang on the wall about Aunts (from Eden)
Freshwater Cucumber bath & body works shower gel

My wonderful baby girl gave me a picture that she and "Mama Wobin" colored together and then put it in a frame with some really cute pictures of her.

I think thats it..
None of the family did a whole lot for Christmas. Which I really don't mind, I am just happy that we got to come to Texas for the holidays.

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.
