Spending time with my family is a gift (okay it was just my parents and sister this Christmas Day)
I had some nice things as I always do at Christmas, a few surprises.
Ever? Homemade cupcakes.
This year? Those homemade cupcakes.
Merry Christmas Studybuddy.
CHOCOLATE.
This year? My blackberry Storm. ♥
@Like_A_Tigah - Your profile picture would look so awesome with a Santa hat on it, ahahaha. XD
WOOL SOCKS. Right/left feet with arch support.
Booyeah.
And an awesome book.
I got a whole lot of nothing. >.>
A set of 4 Sam Adams Boston Lager glasses (as in the ones designed by Boston Beer Company for SABL). Beautiful and surprisingly does enhance the flavor of the beer. Awesome.
I don’t get much for Christmas, the most I get is fifty dollars which I am thankful for. I have saved up some money for a dslr camera so I can treat myself. Hopefully I get it.
my christmas presents are usually pretty bad but for my 16th bday my bro got me a key necklace with a few tiny diamonds (not great quality but the act was cute) along with a bunch of cheesy words I LOVE MY BROTHER (just don’t let him know that)
My bad make up sets worth hundreds. Now I can return them and get the cash n something i like
I got a new laptop! But even better, I got a stuffed hello kitty doll wearing ice-skates and a leather jacket. <3 My family knows me too well.
A dinner together with my family. Just my family. we don’t usually have those.
fisheye 2.
Either The Hauerwas Reader (book) or The Ungame boardgame.
Massive green Hesh/Skullcandy headphones.
Props on your “boycott” plug, by the by. I hate plugz generally but that’s just clever.
This Christmas? I am tempted to say my fleece sheet set since I have yet to leave my bed, but honestly, the fact that my family was cool around me knowing what they know was the best gift. Everyone acted as though I was the same person I was last Christmas, and that, to me, was very cool.
Cigars
this year it’s a toss up between my laptop, my gps or the wii… I’ll tell you in a month which was the best..
A new mattress for my bed.
Although I really like the rechargeable batteries my sister got me, the best gift will be to see Alec, to have him meet my Dad and to meet his family.
Jesus.
cash
The Room on DVD. Worst movie evar, lol. I can’t wait to watch it. ^.^
That’s if you mean this year. If you mean in my life, wow, IDK.
snuggie!
bright pink rainboots =]
A Red Ryder BB gun. Then I shot my eye out.
A filofax, i’ve wanted one for ages but somehow whenever i used to go to buy one they were out of stock, but i finally have one!
ipod touch
egyptian cotton sheets. I can’t wait to go to bed!
Everything. I don’t really mind the gifts. I’m for “who gave them.”
This year would have to be a tie between a peacock wall-art that my sister made for me, and a saucepan (not even kidding - because I’ve been dying to cook proper soups and rices in my dormitory kitchen).
Ever? My parents covering the plane-ticket price for my study abroad in Prague this past summer
$210, for clothes shopping for my new position at work =]
The look on my daughters face when she came out of her room and saw what Santa left her.
My husband and brother were home (last year they were both deployed) and my mom is cancer free! (Last year she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer!) God is so good!
Getting a greeting card with a nice, personal note from my birth mother, whom I basically cut ties with 13 years ago. I sent her a letter to open the door a little and lessen the distance between us a few weeks ago, and to get an warm answer was encouraging. Also, it was my sons first Christmas. His smiles and giggles and belly laughs is the BEST gift every single day.
@OhItWontBeForever - Lol! Thanks! I think so too. Too bad I fail at photoshop.
I got these expensive markers i use for drawing, which helps a lot when you’re a starving artist
Abobe Photoshop Elements 8 with Bridge CS4. Close second: a bunch of journalism books & a Times mug filled with gourmet coffees. Oh and new brakes for my car!
a really awesome portable fold-up easel
This year I received a Macbook. Definitely makes the top two gifts. Only loosing to having my grandparents finally home for the holiday.
Lots of little pigs. I collect pigs
Existance. =3
Merry Christmas!
I was able to spend the entire day with the boy I’m falling in love with. That was the best present my mother has ever given me. Freedom.
My degree. If it weren’t for my parents’ ongoing financial and emotional support, I would not have graduated last Sunday with my Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature.
Jesus Christ.
the clothes i picked out from my mom. lol. well that and it was the only thing i got.
xo
Kurt Cobain memoirs by Charles Cross.
and an evening with my love.
Spending time with my family before I leave for Philly! But also getting a Porcelain Doll from my grandma that I collect from her each year! She has collected them for a long time, and now she is passing them off to me! YEA! I love my Grandma!
Fuzzy socks… hahaha =)
An engagement ring.
my 3-month old baby brother falling asleep in my arms the only other thing i got was a $20 gift certificate to subway, so it’s a pretty easy choice between the two!
The chance to visit my brother in the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time without parents.
lady gaga heartbeats headphones.
Pictures of my mom from when she was a kid.
Big ass box of Slim Jims.
Sad to say such a non-sentimental gushy not-at-all-for-hallmark-type-thing… But…
SUPERNATURAL SEASON TWO. ..Yeah. I heart it, but it’s pretty much the only thing that I wanted and actually got, and not the most important thing. I’m trying to view christmas as OK due to it, though…and I do really love the show.
My husband and daughter did a load of dishes without being asked or nagged. I was floored.

@TheModernBunny - ROFL, they made a DVD for that?
@BoundlessNoctuary - They sure did. Amazon sells it. http://www.amazon.com/Juliette-Danielle-Sestero-Haldiman-Carolyn/dp/B000CFYAMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1261795002&sr=1-1 By all accounts The Room is worse than just about any movie made. Who wouldn’t want to own it? XD
