Did you like it? What's your favourite? I got The Hunger Games trilogy books, a couple of infinity scarves and a gift certificate to a spa. Well those are my faves. I also got pj's, money to get my car detailed, a necklace and earrings, body shop stuff...I made out like a bandit!

Oh my gosh, yes love it! My biggest Christmas turkey ever to add my cement menagerie. He's easily a 100 lb turkey! My DH is a great gift giver.

DH got my fav perfume for me ....... I was down to my last drops.
I found a sweater at Pennys I liked so he got all the colors for me to choose from.
A year ago he got a gorgeous silver filigree necklace for me that needed an extender to lay right so he got that for me.
Friends came to share dinner with us ........ and so did g-dtr with her little dtr.
A great day.

DH got me an awesome Chicago Blackhawks hoodie (great quality and without the main logo on it) and a small diamond necklace. He did good.
We didn't exchange gifts with anyone else.

I'd already gotten my new car, so I'd told DH I considered that my Christmas gift. For like the next 6 years.
So, DH surprised me with a new keyboard for my computer (which I DID need), so now I can keep in touch with all of you!

A crossbow, bolts, cocking string, and camo cover. Surprise Surprise.
I got him the NFL hat he specifically asked for and those hot mitts that go to 500 degrees. We both experienced burns in the last month from our oven.

DH and I mostly got money and gift cards. My mom got us an awesome Cuisinart ceramic nonstick pot and pan set (our other set was showing major wear). SIL and my stepmom got us some great personalized ornaments. DD cleaned up... 2 Radio Flyer wagons (plastic with seats and metal with wooden sides), a ton of clothes, Megabloks, a few Vtech toys, a canvas-framed sign for her room, board books, and a ton of other stuff. We got her nothing, but I don't think she noticed

DH got me tools. My very own drill, impact driver, bits and toolbox. They will come in so handy after we tear this house apart and start rebuilding it. We have a family Christmas this weekend so more stuff from my wish list I'm sure.

DH and I agreed to not do extra presents under the tree. We went to the Nutcracker last weekend, and on Saturday head to Portugal for 5 days. I did buy us some bath and body stuff from lush to put in the stockings. The barbell, squat stand, and weights I got last month were also supposed to be a present for us. So we've been spending a lot of money, we just spread it out and didn't get surprises under the tree.

Holy Cow! Sweet Dreams is the Bloggess! You didn't like the Rooster any more? "Knock, knock, mother fucker!" Here is her story about the Rooster: thebloggess.com/2011/06/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/ and how Elves are Assholes: thebloggess.com/2012/12/elves-are-assholes/Oh, and our Christmas was awesome because we don't go through the trouble of getting each other gifts any more and haven't for years. It's more like "Honey! I think I'm ready to have patio lights on our lanai now!" or "Sweetie! Will you...? <<not PG13>>" (ok, that's year 'round) or we take little trips or go out with friends to do something kind of pricey, etc. No stress, no returns and no "OH! I, ummmm, loooove it!"

I got a bit spoiled this Christmas. My husband supposedly gave me my Christmas present early. It was a MacBook Pro. Then he asked me what I wanted for Christmas. We had a whole discussion about how the Mac and my trip to Paris (went Dec 19-22) was my Christmas present. When we opened presents, low and behold, there was another present under the tree. It was the Twin Peaks Box set. Yes, I squealed! I love Twin Peaks. I used to go to Twin Peaks viewing parties in Detroit (yes, we all dressed up as characters from the show).

I got a nice necklace and bracelet. Plus some weird stuff like a tire pressure gauge. Kids got me a water pic and a travel hair dryer. I haven't given up on international travel yet.

I did well too and we'll be seeing the rest of the family tomorrow - so more loot! I got a new Surface Pro and a rain barrel. I've wanted a rain barrel for the longest and now have one. Saves on the water bill!
DH wanted a garage door opener, but never did pick one out, so I have him a picture of one. DSD and Grandson thought that was the funniest thing ever!

I got a personal laminating machine and a metal rolling cart, lol, I'm such a teacher! My DD ordered me a sweater online from H&M, so that had to be one of my favorite gifts. She's 11 and picked everything out herself, then asked for her debit card, I had no idea she was ordering anything for me.

DSD got me a tablet, would prefer she didn't spend money like that, she doesn't have it. DS1 is deployed somewhere in the Middle East, did get to talk with him a few minutes, DS2 is broke but he spent the holiday with us, that was more important than gifts. DW got me clothes and all the desk accessories for my new position. The dept. would have got me everything but she wanted to set me up so

I got a new luggage set! (and DH will get one for his birthday in Feb) and a new camera holster, the last 2 Hunger Games books so I can finally finish those, new socks I wanted, an Enterprise pen I'm currently using at work and some other little things. DH loves his pasta attachments for his mixer (fingers crossed they fit, he hasn't tried them on it yet), I made him socks and a hat/glove set, and he got some DVDs.

A couple of good tools, some sailing gear that I love but was too cheap to buy for myself, lots of yummy chocolate and a t-shirt that says, "I'll go get my tools" and then has a large picture of duct tape on it. (The t-shirt is very funny if you know me - like most sailors I go through miles of duct tape and use it for almost everything.)
Santa obviously noticed how "nice" I've been this year.

I got new towels from my grandma, which I requested. A necklace and a winter hat/glove set from my great uncle DH gave me a new camera. Ours died two weeks ago and I was really upset, so DH bought me a new one and gave it to me on the 23rd so I'd be able to use it for the holidays. I haven't figured out all the fancy features yet but I can point/shoot. We discovered it has a panoramic feature so we had fun playing with that yesterday. I got three new cookbooks from my parents. I am really excited about the Chopped cookbook, I have been drooling over that one for months. I could have bought it myself but I have two shelves full of cookbooks already so I put buying ban on myself. Someone else buying the cookbook for me is allowed. ]Then we got $600 from the in laws which is going straight into savings.[/p]

$100 check from MIL. She didn't want to get me a gift card to REI. I need a new pair of boots and a new day pack. It will be a down payment. She's pouting because I don't love the $9.00 weird Indian blanket thing she bought. It has zippers, snaps, et cetera. Even though I was the only one who could figure out how it worked, I don't like it. Way too complicated for the purpose.
