On an "up" note - what's the one gift you got you think is the best this year?

My last gift DH got me I pick as my best. I wanted an Ocicat t-shirt/sweatshirt and a few other "Oci" things from the website. I got a sweatshirt...........but not from the website - it was custom made.

He went to a store and had them print out O C I C A T and added words describing Charlie (something he created)


It's light blue and reads:

One
Cat
In
Constant
Affectionate
Trouble

I'll have to get a picture of it and post it

That sounds awesome, and so thoughtful of him!!

I only got one gift so far, a sweater from John's mom. My mother says she got me something, but I can't have it until next week. John says the Pepsi he buys me this week can be my present from him... so I'd consider that the best one, I have to have my Pepsi!

My best gift this year was my Christmas tree. I've been suffering from depression for years and for some reason came out of it this year.

My daughter celebrated by bringing me a Christmas tree complete with all the trimmings. It looks beautiful and I love it. It's been five years since I've had one. As long as I was depressed, I just couldn't care which made it hard for her, too..

Now I really feel like I'm going to have a Happy New Year and I hope all of you do, too.

The best gift I got was finding Milo tucked up asleep at the bottom of the bed, because I had a real bad dream and woke up in a cold sweat. I dreamed that he had gashed the inside of his back leg on some barbed wire, the vet could not stem the bleeding, and we lost him.

My parents got me (amongst other things) a brand new Columbia winter jacket
I lost mine in the flood in August so having a nice winter coat is wonderful!

DH got me a laser flashlight! It kept Ben busy last night. Normally he gets the crazies before bedtime. Now I have an easy way to entertain him at 1am.

There's no place like home
I told DH I didn't want anything for Christmas, but wanted him to get the hot tub fixed (its probably from the 1970's and hasn't worked for 6 months), and wanted him to finish the bathroom (it has no walls and no sink). Well the hot tub was repaired 3 days ago and we're going out to buy the drywall for the bathroom in the next few days.

He did give me a cool wok to replace the one that broke this year. I'm getting practical in my old age.

I haven't even had a moment to set it up yet, but my sister & her partner got me an I-Pod Nano. I've wanted an I-Pod for a couple years now, so guess what I'm doing after work.

That seems to be the gift of the season! You're the 3rd person I've heard of who got one this year! They're pretty neat.

I got a bread machine!
I really wanted to start making my own bread (I am really cutting back on any processed foods) and this makes it sooooo easy. I just put the ingredients in, choose the settings and wait a few hours, then the bread is done.

I loved all my gifts especially the Celine Dion perfume set my brother got me and the new computer chair he also got me.
and his girlfriend got me a nice bath set which is really nice.
from my parents the best gift was probably my new mutts pajama shirt and pajama pants, hairspray the movie, some nice jeans, and 2 gift cards.
I forget what else they got me.

I think my favorite gift we received is a scrapbook of my wedding my sister made. It is beautiful!! It's a red album, she put in pictures of my bridal showers, rehearsal dinner, dress shopping, and of course wedding day!! I told my DH we need a bigger place so we can get a coffee table so we can display the scrapbook and our wedding album. haha

My sister Kimmy and her family gave me a beautiful family picture of them that they had taken a few days ago. It was really special and ment a lot to me- My cousin Christie and her family did the same thing (they live in Oklahoma so i don't get to see them much). Those pictures probably ment the most to me


I also really love my new Rachael Ray cookbook my sister got me
(they know me well
)
