So, what'dja get?

[Lady's Human]

I was spoiled this year.

I got a box of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.

Now all I have to figure out is who I'm going to share the coffee with!

My parents gave me:
An iPod docking station
A blanket
A cookbook
A GPS!!! Now I don't have to borrow theirs all the time
A body tape measure (I laughed when I opened this! I am really getting into working out and keeping fit so my mom thought I would like it, and I do )
A $15 iTunes gift card
An FSU book that I really, really wanted when we went to Costco a few weeks ago, but didn't have money to buy
An FSU nightlight (I love my school )

My brother gave me:
A pedometer (when my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas, this was the only thing I could come up with. I didn't have a wish list this year)

My friend Anna:
A pair of socks from American Eagle

My friend Kristin:
Some candles from Yankee Candle (unfortunately she doesn't know I'm allergic and I had to give them to my mom )

My cousin also sent me a card with $20 in it

I got:

An HP MediaSmart home server.

A 1.5 TB hard drive for the server.

2 2gig sticks of memory.

Granola, roasted nuts, and pretzle sticks, all home made.

A car battery booster/air compressor.

And best of all...









Socks.

I always ask for socks too. Being on my feet all day at work I go through a lot of socks quickly, they get holey. Either that or I lose some to the cat. My family never understands it though. They get me one or two pair of fancy socks when all I want is a big pack of white hanes socks or something. This year I figured I'd just buy my own instead of asking. Couple years in a row and they'll put me in rehab for a non-existant sock fetish.

Which means you should be driving to my house soon, right?

Again this year, we all made donations to a needy family and our biggest donation to our local privately owned animal shelter. Last year we all bought things they needed. This year we all gave money.

I love this way to celebrate Christmas. It makes me feel good and we all don't go out and spend alot of money.

My sister did give me a night in St. Augustine to see the lights there. We stayed at the St. Francis Inn(Bed and Breakfast). It's where we stay when we go there. It was a great gift and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My family decided that we weren't doing exchanges this year. My brother has been laid off for a few months, and his new job doesn't start till January. My mom and dad have been helping me out, financially, since I've been on sabbatical, so I wasn't expecting anything.

However, that being said, my mom and dad still got me things for Christmas.
Gold's Gym Treadmill
Pads for under the tread mill
Long needle nose pliers (I'm stocking up on hardware, lol!)
Steaks for my grill
Fruit

Also received a beautiful card from them, and I love the message in it.

My father loved the mustards I gave him and tried 5 of the 6 already, lol. The 6th one has to age for a few weeks, so he has to wait on that one. Mom loved the jellied candies that I made her. Well, one of them didn't jell, so I called it Quince Butter (like apple butter). It was really tart and yummy! Since I had bad luck with the quince jelling, I didn't do the apricot jellies, and instead made her an apricot, pine nut and almond breakfast cake, which she absolutely loved.

It was a good Christmas. We had a great time talking and reminiscing, and just being together.

Best kind of Christmas, Jenn. That's one of the things I enjoy most about Thanksgiving: no obligatory gift giving, just family being together, reminiscing and enjoying each other's company. I envy the fact that your parents are still alive but I'm happy for you.

I wanted a tattoo but I didn't end up getting it.

My cousin bought it for me. I'm pretty stoked. I love it.
