Santa brought me lots of beautiful stuff!!  I had secret santas on this site and another site. I got a beautiful glass ornament from this site.  I got a beautiful tshirt from Australia.  A friend sent me a beautiful cast iron teapot.  Hubby gave me a gold bangle(that I think he spent way toooo much on) beautiful though I love it.  Also got some skidoo gloves, miniature clock ornaments, candle holders and loads of "stuff" from the kids at school.  Hubby got a satalite radio, a really good pair of skidoo gloves, andd lots of other stuff!!! he didn't get any tools at all this year.  said it was the first time he can remember that he didn't get some type of tool.  I do have one ordered for him but didn't get it in time!!! Will take a pic of my ornament and post it.  Everyone have a very merry Christmas!!

We just did Santa's gifts to my son this morning and are doing family to each other this evening after my husband gets home from work, but my son already let it slip I'm getting a Nintendo DS  :rofl; I also got a stadium seat for my son's basketball games and a big folding chair with attached table to take to soccer games. They weren't wrapped, too bulky.

My husband and I got a new 46" plasma HD TV and TIVO HD.  I got Victoria Secret perfume, a video picture frame (I think that's what you call it), a fake mink throw for my couch, some house that match the throw, a DVD and a really cool lavender pillow that you can "heat" in the microwave.

My husband and I are also looking into a cruise in March.  We're waiting on the pricing.  I figured since it's a high possibility that I'll be either starting dialysis or transplanting shortly after March we had better take a nice vacation soon!  He's never cruised and he desperately needs the vacation.  We're going with another couple and the gentleman is currently on dialysis.  So we're doing a "dialysis at sea" cruise so that he can do dialysis on the ship.  LOVE IT!

I got Laker tickets (my guilty pleasure) and a belt and sunglasses and a chocolate brown soft-as-a-bunny robe! Also got some scented oils, foot cream and cashews.
I loved my mom's reaction when we gave her a 140 photos in an album of our trip to New Mexico in the fall, she was so pleased to get it.
My niece left our house early because she was sick to her stomach (No, it wasn't my cooking, she didn't feel good when she arrived) and now my older sister is sick too. I hope we can dodge this flu!

Cash, socks, a sweat suiit, and a tape measure. When my parents came out to visit, Dad said he didn't like my tape measure because the numbers are too small. I think this was really a gift for himself. Whenever he's come to visit, I've put him to work building something. :-)

My oldest cat gave me the gift of getting sick, and one of my dogs and the dog I'm dog-sitting (both dachshunds) gave me the gift of a Christmas Eve brawl. They all couldn't wait until after the holidays!? I think they've all been hitting the eggnog!

I got myself an Ipod a couple of weeks ago and a hard drive to connect to my DVR.  :bandance;

Hubby bought me a beautiful Coach bag and matching wallet (love it!), gift cards to Starbucks, Old Navy, and Borders.  He went way overboard!
My son (hubby) gave me 2lbs of Dunkin Donuts coffee and a gift card (LOVE that stuff).
I also received cash, slippers, candles and various gift cards from family & friends.

The best gift this year was my son.  It was the best Christmas ever!  It was awesome to hear his little feet fly out of bed and run down the stairs to see if Santa came.  Rob was first out of bed to join him!
