what did you get for Christmas/holidays?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi and happy holidays from Atlantic City I'm on vacation . For Christmas before we left I got a doll some stuffed animals and a kindle.

A bunch of stuff, but all of my favourites are the homemade things.

My absolute favourite is a homemade hand written card from my closest friend w/ some really nice things written in it. I also got a homemade card from my youngest God daughter (7) and her little brother (3). I got homemade cookies, jalapeño jelly, antipasto, a baby foot print dough ornament, fridge magnets, more homemade jams and jellies, & my friend made me a salve and some candles. I got some other stuff & gift cards and so on, but it's all the homemade stuff that I appreciate the most. Oh, and the hugs I got - lots of them this year - I really liked getting those from so many people I gave gifts to. It's nice when people's reaction to a gift I gave them is to give me a hug. I just shows their appreciation for the effort I made to pick out just the right gifts for them.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

A limited edition book, coin and stamp set commemorating the sinking of the Empress of Ireland (Google it).

I got

- A few video games (Bayonetta 2, Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix, Super Smash Bros for Wii-U, Hyrule Warriors and Bioshock Infinite Complete Edition for the PS3)
- Some clothes (Batman t-shirts, hoodies from Old Navy)
- Some cologne
- A pirate treasure box

And that's about it. Next year will probably be about 2-4 things if that.

Money, clothes, the usual.

For Christmas I got a new camera, a Nintendo 3Ds with Super Smash Bros. and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, a new cat-carrier, socks, a couple of camisoles, new pants, and an adorable fluffy stuffed polar bear wearing a red flannel scarf, hat and mittens. The bear was a surprise gift, the others I helped pick out before Christmas. My brother and his wife got gifts for our parents and me as well, but they've decided to have my SIL's parents bring them along when they come home from New Brunswick in January. But that will actually be nice, more gifts to look forward to getting even when the holidays are over and we're back to the old grind.
