Let's see, I didn't give a whole lot this year, and I kinda feel shitty about it, but whatever, I'm a poor college student.

To my best college buddy I gave the Stella Season 1 DVD's.

To my father I gave an American University sweat-shirt and baseball cap.

To my mother I gave 3 hardcover novels she's been looking forward to picking up.

But, I went completely nuts for my girlfriend. First of all, I bought the two of us Chili Peppers tickets for the Jan 25 show in DC. Then for Christmas I bought her a pair of Peridot earrings (green's her favorite color, and they match her eyes ) But these are going to be a complete surprise when I give them to her during our post-winter break dinner I'm treating her to when we get back. She's gonna flip out over these. I wasn't even planning on getting her anything else, but when I was in the mall last week I just couldn't resist. They're gonna look absolutely gorgeous on her.

[Bonochick]

I gave alot this year it seemed it was never ending but I was more happy to give than recieve, I'm weird like that.

It was kind of funny...I was so excited to give my sister her PS2 that I hadn't even been thinking that, hey, I'm gonna get gifts! I certainly wasn't expecting all that I got...all I asked for was Seinfeld, and I had jotted down a list of video games I'd like, figuring they could pick one, if they wanted.

The memory box my aunt gave me was unbelievable...so many pics I'd never seen...and I can't believe she kept all of my drawings and stuff I did as a kid. It was so heartwarming.

I had a very light Hanukkah this year compared to the last few years but it was good enough for me!

$60 Apple gift cards
$75 Target gift cards
$50 Visa bank cards
$15 Williams Sonoma gift card
A framed picture of my cousin's new baby
Zoo TV on dvd
Crabtree & Evelyn lemon scented hand stuff
A cookbook....all desserts
Cash

From work besides some of the gift cards....candy, a bottle of wine, a snowman mug filled with more candy, and a few mixed CD's.

Finally......someone I work with bought me a 4 pack (cans! ) of Guinness!!!! THAT is paying attention to me if he knew enough to not only buy Guinness but Guinness in cans. No one should drink Guinness out of a bottle.

With all of my gift cards I bought stuff I really wanted (I got everything last week). I got the 8 GB Red iPod Nano to replace my dead U2 iPod, U2 by U2 dvd/cd, the Killers new CD, $15.00 to spend on iTunes. With the remainder of my Target $ I'm going to buy a case for my iPod and flannel sheets.

I mainly gave gift cards this year. I just moved, am starting back to school in a few weeks, so I didn't really have the time or energy to get much of anything other than gc's to stores everyone likes to go to.
