yep. princess is my himalayan kitty, he bought her for me a few weeks ago but she was part of my xmas present and my favorite

Santa was good to me

I got 3 new Webkinz (yes, I am 31yrs old), a nice lingerie overcoat and a heavy warm bathrobe for getting in and out of the hottub. I am very happy with my pressies

I got my hubby, a nice warm bathrobe too (we just got the hottub this year), a collectors dragon from the Hamilton Collection, and another dragon statue. He and I both love "fantasy". Him more the dragons, me more the fairies, unicorns, pegasus.

I can't wait to try out my robe Hubby will have to wait, I didn't understand the sizing right, and you could fit 2-3 people in the robe So it will be returned and I've already ordered another in a different size.

My daughter is quite thrilled with her gifts. She got some Bratz, Little Pet Shop stuff, CD player, game for her DS, pj's, a puzzle, CD and 3 Webkinz too.

The best present tho, I'm in a good mood Normally I'm not.... My pain level is quite high today and the meds aren't cutting it.... but this Christmas has been the best I've had in a while. So that is the greatest gift, not only to myself, but my family as well.

I got a maternity sweater and coat from DH, Cinderella, classic Christmas movie set, underwear & new wedding band(old one is tight). Mom got me about 20 pairs of socks, two maternity sweaters, pedicure kit and make-up kit.

My siblings and I don't exchange gifts anymore. We are good to each other all 365 days of the year. Tho' my brother did offer to get me a really good scanner... it hasn't showed up yet and I am not going to push. Same goes for Mom... really, there is nothing I can GET for her so I DO for her... This morning I made a special brekkie - scrambled eggs and these yummy smoked chicken sausages, bagels and cream cheese.. and I chased her out of the kitchie so I could do the dishes.

I got my boyfriend a funny coffee mug (Real Men Like Cats!), the Martin Scorcese DVD doc on the Rolling Stones and mom and I went in on a beautiful urn and display box for his RB cat's ashes.

He got me an external hard drive for my computer - Half a TB for a hundred bucks! (I went with him to pick)... and I WILL be getting a cherry amber pendant. I can't decide which one I like best... I have like 20 different designs bookmarked! Sheesh! And a silver omega to wear it on. (maybe I will have you guys help me decide!)

One of my dear girlfriends got me a great purse - I like a cross-body style - at Macy's. It's absolutely perfect. I had said "no gifts" but of course, Christina wasn't listening to me!

Let's see...

Candy and chocolate, of course
Two scratch tickets, one of which I won $10 on!
Stuffed snowman
Gloves
Boxers (I wear them around the house)
A Saskatchewan trivia book that I already own
usb turntable, but it has rca cables so I can hook it up to my stereo!
A Rush shirt
Space Invaders shirt
Roughriders hoodie
Pajama pants
Socks
Corner Gas hoodie
Strong Bad emails dvd, episodes 1-100
Fleetwood Mac - Pious Bird of Good Omen (cd), Live in Chicago (vinyl), Live in Boston (cd/dvd set)
Christine McVie - In The Meantime (cd)
Lindsey Buckingham - Under the Skin (cd)
Lego I like building castles and no, I never grew up.
A thing for my iPod so I can listen to it in the car
Card game
Uncle John's Bathroom Reader book
Bass strings

I think that's everything!

I am so spoiled rotten, I got a beautiful diamond choker, big fluffy bathrobe, nail kit, bath salts, cuisinart can opener, and he is taking me the the hardrock casino tomorrow.

We didn't buy gifts this year. We decided to go save a cats life from the shelter on Christmas eve!!

She is home now and my house has been hissy. She is a little sweetheart. She came to us with the name of Ace but she doesn't know her name. I think the shelter named her. What my new little cat needs is a name for Christmas!!!

I do not know what all of them are yet.
My husband got me a Ipod Touch.
My sister a Choco Cat Globe.
My friend in South Dakota got me a Vegie Steamer.
I have no idea what the others are.
My sisters has the gifts from my brother and girlfriend but she has to go to work as soon as gets back.
She went to the bay area to get them yesterday.
My other 2 sisters have gifts for me to and I have theirs.

SS presents of course! Lots of CD's from DH, new PJ's, a couple of jigsaw puzzles (I'm addicted to them) and a cool purple sweater.

And the big score: a very cool beaded necklace with a large cat head for the primary bead. I'll post a picture of it later. I'm wearing it right now over to the neighbors for dinner.

But I hear that the "big" present from DH got delayed at the Portland airport yesterday. We were expecting a UPS delivery and they sent us an e-mail late in the day that it wasn't coming until Friday. Did you hear about the accident at that airport yesterday? The fumes from de-icing a plane got into that plane and they had to hospitalize a lot of people. I watched it on the news yesterday, never realizing that that plane would cause our Christmas to be delayed.

How about Eve, then? Or Eva!? Evie? Chrissy? Christy? Beth for Bethlehem? Merry? Holly? Settia for Pointsettia? One of Santa's reindeer? Obviously thinking holiday-themed names here? Lily - but that is more of an Easter thing - but you are giving her a second chance at life, right?

Some of the holiday gifts I got for people came from the Animal Rescue site and purchases buy food for animals in shelters.

Well it's Boxing day here & we have LOTS of leftovers, omg i'm going to burst

I got lots of stuff over three different days

Cube shuffle speaker, cordless hot glue, hand painted steel cups, organic stocking fillers, a soap making book, ceramic lotus candle holder, scented tealights, soaps/lotions/shower gels, a skirt, manicure set, handmade glass hummingbird dome thingie which lights up, tonnes of stationary for uni, chocolate, chocolate mud masks, perfume, money, canvases, a set of gemstone heart pendants, a beautiful pale teal/white embroidered doona cover set and a purple cotton/silk bag.

I normally don't get this much stuff for Christmas so i was overwhelmed.

Oh and my grandma bought Sir Poopsalot some cute little gourmet tins of wet & a little crochet blanket for when Winter comes around (yes..he does already adopt about 6 blankets in the house!! )

Best was from Mom, A gift certif to buy online steaks. She is a cool lady.

Sounds like Santa brought everyone lots of goodies! . I got a new watch, five books, KITTENS IN THE SUN, which is a book of photos of kittens in the Greek Isles, Stephen King's JUST AFTER SUNSET, ALEX&ME, about the famous African Grey Parrot who died last year, THE DAILY CAYOTE, and DEWEY THE SMALL-TOWN LIBRARY CAT WHO TOUCHED THE WORLD, a big bottle of JEAN NATE AFTER BATH SPLASH, a pin with penguins on it, a pants suit, a T-shirt with MY CATS WALK ALL OVER ME, the DVD of MAMA MIA!, a pumpkin shaped spoon rest, a garlic press shaped like a Prrot, a cheese grater shaped like a mouse, and a box of CINNAMON HONEY STICKS.

My main gift from my kitties, via my sister of course they are very sophisticated kitties they have a personal shopper, was a very nice set of micro-fiber pajama's and new slippers.
I also got lots of chocolate, a books, and a couple of gift certicates, one for Coles Book Store, and On for the Video Store.
