**Arachne** · 25-12-2007

An update, as promised:

I got:

A pink LG KG800 mobile (sorely needed, my Nokia was getting very long in the tooth - about 3 years old)
A Samsung S830 8.1MP digital camera (now I can ditch my old Sony CyberShot (even older than the Nokia phone), yay)
3 (yes 3) pairs of nice fluffy slippers (and some fluffy socks as well)
Some perfume
Various clothes
A pair of black suede boots
An onyx and silver bracelet

**Dee-27** · 26-12-2007

I gave
To my daughter a PS3 and some games. Clothes, some toiletries, some clothes for dolls and some sweets.

To my hubby. A new watch and some CD's and DVD's he wanted.

I got from hubby
Some CD's, Planet Earth on Blu-ray, perfume, clothes and chocolates.

From my daughter. An LG USB pen drive and some perfume.

Had the family around, so various gifts exchanged (to many to list).

*Kerry56* · 26-12-2007

I gave perfume and bath items to my sister, a robe and more bath stuff for my mother, candy for my elderly aunt, and clothes to my sister-in law. My brother and I do a lot of woodworking, so I gave him a good dovetail jig.

I got a rabbeting bit set for my router (woodworking), a new set of knives for my joiner, a robe, a sweater, some fun bits and pieces as stocking stuffers like candy and nuts, cookies and things like that. And a gift card to a local music/video/book store.

We had a small family get together and ate till we didn't want to move. Pretty much our regular routine at Christmas, except none of the younger bunch made it out to W Texas this year.

Nice. I like those. Still won't let go of my VX8600...

I've a CyberShot, and I'm trying to get a Sammy. Great minds think alike [even though it was a gift].

So girly.

My update:

Oh, I got 78 more dollars [not all I'm getting; ATM was down, so I couldn't get the full sum] from various peoples in my family.

A friend got a picture of us+another of my friends printed, framed, and dropped it into a Happy Bunny bag [Happy Bunny = the stuff].

One of my aunts gave me some Poppycock carmel corn [with pecans; this is the GOOD stuff].

My sister got me one of those novelty Best Buy gift cards. It's one of the ones where you can program text, and it will display it. [She got it programmed to say "Merry Christmas, Albert", and got 20 dollars on it].

Also got a memorial snowglobe of my auntie [the one from this past summer; some of you will remember] from my mommy. Very welcome thing it was.

Oh, and my dad just dropped by with a sampler set of 3 colognes. Not bad at all.

I gave random amounts of money that I don't remember, along with some music CDs.

Eh...not enough of us [people in general] wants it. That's one of those things where you can only do so much by yourself. Don't feel bad.

jhtalisman · 04-02-2008

Yep, late getting here. I received a gift quite late (it apparently was backordered). Well worth it though........
