I feel so bad about how much stuff people gave me. It's almost criminal.
I scored the best of dvd, another music dvd, some dvd movies, money, clothes, pj's, so much pretty smelly bath stuff that is absolutely divine, a humungous bottle of Charlie Sunshine perfume that was discontinued years ago and my darling mother was able to find probably the last bottle in existance in all of Aus, some books, a 2 foot tall Paddington bear, some cd's, cinema cash so I can go see harry potter and die another day :hyper:, some art prints, art books...
My family are too good.
:sad:

from my parents I got:

When they came up and visited me on Christmas, they also gave me: Spirit (the Disney movie) DVD (I :heart: Disney movies), and some candy that is made in the town where I grew up (Fredericksburg, Texas)

from my brother and sister-in-law I got:

a Christmas music CD (by Everett Bradley, I've never heard of him, but they've seen him perform a few times in NYC...it's nice contemporary Christmas music)

and they also gave me a beautiful silk blouse (light green :drool:)

I also got some clothes and Pj's. I actually did want clothes for work and I got that. The top gifts were my favs though. I have never smelled that perfume before and was afraid when I saw it I would not like it but it smells sooooo good. My grandmother was pleased that I liked it because she is the one who got it for me. As for the jango fett. I am a fan of his son. He has always been my fav. I have a t-shirt of him that is really cute, that I got for my birthday and I use to have him on my key chain until my keys were stolen. I had him on my key. Heather (my roomate) said that I hoped I liked it becuase she said she went to like 6 stores looking for Boba but could not find him. :lol:

Well, my parents are divorced, so my Christmas is only half over; I get presents from my dad's half of the family today and on New Year' Day. Nevertheless, here is my take so far:

--Old Navy pink half-zip pullover
--The Hives Veni Vidi Vicious CD
--We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates and Icy Sparks by Gwyn Harmon Rubio
--Two very pretty blouses
--Colognes: Warm Embrace and Vanilla Lace by Victoria's Secret, and (!) Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle (woohoo!!!)
--Money
--A new stereo (!)
--Pictureframes
--Stocking stuffers like stockings, lip balm, nail polish, etc.

I've been well-behaved this week and only bought one present for myself: Norah Jones' Come Away With Me CD, which has been a great Christmas music antidote. :yes:

You've gotta love the grandma gifts!

Mine used to make me vests...a quilted one, patchwork denim, pink flowers...so lovely. She also didn't realize that my uh, chest area has grown since I was in Jr. High and I couldn't wear them even if I wanted to. She stopped making them for me 2 years ago when my son let it slip in front of her that I was giving them away in the white elephant exchange my husband's family does every year. :silent: :eek:

sorry gram :(

man, i honestly don't remember all the stuff i get. but, i loved everything i got, and only got one :huh: gift this year. my husband's aunt kept wanting to make me a sweatshirt to wear, and my mom kept telling her i wouldn't wear it. i'm not a sweatshirt person. SO...she freaking gave me one anyway! :scream:

anyway, my husband essentially gave me my wedding band for christmas. i've been wearing it longer than that, but since it was so expensive and stuff, i said it should count as a christmas gift. he also got me chicken dance elmo (i'd seriously been wanting one!), the book fast food nation, and some knickers.

my parents gave me a gift certificate for p.f. chang's, three cds, a blow dryer, gift certificate for lerner new york and victoria's secret, a new wallet (i love fossil!), and other things i can't remember.

my husband's parents gave me a gift certificate for fye (music and movie store), claire's, and some other stuff.

my aunt gave us (the gifts were for both of us) a department 56 graceland, flannel bedding from l.l. bean, and that damn sweatshirt.

everyone else sent me moolah. :D
