What did you get for Christmas?

[jazzcat]

I got several wonderful gifts this year. My brother's went overboard on me and my husband with a new HD DirecTV receiver and a year subscription of DirecTV High Definition plus one brother got me 6 months membership to Netflix and the other got me a Magic Bullet.

One of the best gifts was a handmade cedar birdhouse from my Dad. Some of you know he has Dementia/early Alzheimer's and I take care of him but this fall a new doctor put him on a new drug (Namenda) and he is doing better, well enough to make a few little things in his woodworking shop. I will cherish that birdhouse!

Oh, Lori, I'm so happy to hear your Dad is doing better and such a special gift he gave you.

I was spoiled by my family again this year and got a bagful of gifts, literally, this bag full.


Along with lots of smellies (perfume, body sprays/washes/soaps etc.) chocolates, and various other goodies, were these.

A musical box.


A gorgeous dragon & a wizard to add to my collection.


and Christmas wouldn't be complete without some Johnny/Pirate stuff.

My puppy Jake is my Christmas puppy! I got him 12/8, but that's close enough. I got a new sweeper the day after Christmas when I went shopping. Two days after Christmas the gift my husband ordered finally showed up, a sterling silver Christmas tree pendant with green stones. I've wanted one for years.
I also got candles, lotions, towels and a Boyds figurine from my sister, niece and neighbor. Oh and a ruby and diamond bracelet I picked out with a gift certificate from a jewelry store at the mall. I got the gift certificate from my employer for 15 years of service.
