Let's show off what we got for Xmas!!!

[Blackmage]

I got about $300 worth of tools, but that was about 3months ago right when I started school, 2 pairs of pants, 4 shirts and a $40 giftcard to best buy which bought me CV: PoR

:Edit: oh and I got Shaun of the Dead and made my parents watch it last night.

[Legend]

My -best- Christmas present was getting to spend the holidays with my Shino-sama and his family, and then with my family. ^_^

From my parents, I got mostly a -ton- of new shiny sweet clothes. Also got an origami book (whee!) and a few CDs (two Goo Goo Dolls I didn't have, and Stonesour.)

From my brother was Samstown (the Killers CD, if you're unfamiliar) and from my sister, the first Drizzt Trilogy, Homeland, Sojourn, and Exile boxed set.

From all the cool PO awesome people, I got lots of fairytale love (Fables, Snowfall, Fairest)...which I've already read and adored all of, because I am -teh- obsessive. And an awesome dragon coaster set which has already been put to much use and everyone has been warned will mean DEATH for anyone who misplaces one. Annnnd a PotC poster. <3 <3 Oh! And Gaaz got me a shiny dragon shield hair thingy.

And from Shino-sama's family, a new SCARF *SPARKLE* and hat and gloves set, as well as lots of chocolate (they know me well!) and a gift card for Best Buy.

And Sting-- Yes, Georgia is also known as the Peach State, because apparently the peaches in GA used to be something like the cheese in California and the Oranges in Florida.

Well I made out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

I got a new Fossil watch from my bf, since my old favorite one with the sapphire blue face (that is not made anymore) was stolen by an asshole at EB, when the then manager decided to hire some shady asshole when he broke his leg and I was running the store. (I took it off to do an inventory, put it in my purse and it was never seen again) The new watch isnt as dark as the original but it is a blue, that tends to go from light to dark depending on the angle, and I love the band so I have a new favorite now

I also go some Sudoku and Crossword puzzle books from a secret santa here at work.

I got a 10 piece cooking set from my family, since they knew my old one or 2 pieces were wearing out from overuse lol. This set is AWESOME. My mom also got me a bundle that had pie/loaf pans, cookie sheets, measuring cup, etc. And a nice Bundt pan so I can make my delicious Rum Cake...which turned out awesome by the way. SO moist and delicious. I actually ended up making 2, so she and my stepdad can have half (they visited me for a day this past weekend) and they took a whole one back to my dad, because I promised him I would make one lol.

I got 2 of the Harry Potter books (I read the series from borrowing a coworkers, but I wanted my own so I can reread it and get my bf to read it sometime since he likes the movies too, like me) but I only got the first book and the last book (Halfblood prince) so now I need the books inbetween

Got some lotions and a bath soap from my bf's parents.

Got a Lane Bryant gift card woot...more clothes! lol (they've been getting REALLY cute stuff lately btw Doot, go check it out and go broke like me )

I also got some money, and gift cards and candles, oh my lol.

I got my bf Gears of War, Diablo II Chest Set, and Rayman for Wii. (Holy crap Rayman is fun and freaking hilarious, go get it if you guys with Wii's havent gotten it yet, well worth the money).

Thats all I can think of right now.

[Doot]

Well pooh Sciler! I guess my stuff didn't make it in time.

I got super uber soft fuzzy socks from my aunt.
A badass Mashup Disc from my uncle.
My sister got me kick ass buttons and a GC to Torrid - which I will make her go shopping with me - so she can help me pick out an outfit.
Did I mention the jammies I got from Gaaz? AND he got me a Name that Tune 80's music game and a Marie Antoinette action figure where her head pops off. CLASSIC!

The best part was giving homemade gifts this year. I worked a good bit on them and loved how they turned out. Found I have a passion for it. SO I've been bargain hunting to find stuff that I can turn into other things.

I was able to brew up some limoncello for my dad and he was pretty surprised about it. We chose names this year and he felt bad he didn't get me anything (since he got Chris' name) but I told him to hush and enjoy. He seems to like it.

The best part about it is that I don't go into debt financially doing so and the outcome means so much more. I've learned that next year I start in Summer so that I can make sure I get everyone's gifts completed in time.

[Sciler]

I havent seen it Todd is off this week, so if it comes in, hopefully he will be there to snag it, but I havent seen any UPS notices of anything coming. If you have a tracking number may want to check it and see where it is, especially if you paid extra for certain shipping, UPS will usually refund you if you paid extra and it wasnt there by when its supposed to be. (I have to call them all the time for work for crap like that).

[Silver Adept]

I haven't got everything yet, but my big gift was a 19" LCD monitor.

I also got Time Crisis 3 with light guns for my PS2. Which may not work with my new LCD monitor... oh well.
