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.
