Colin bought be a pair of gloves for Christmas
/ he also got me an adorable little silver kitty ring holder that i had been eyeing at Bed Bath & Beyond...so that in some way makes up a wee bit for the random black gloves that are too large
My mom got me some warm fuzzy socks (oh i love them!), a Christmas set that had two candlestick holders, a gravy boat, and a napkin holder, some perfume, she gave us homemade goodies, and i'm sure there's something else i must be forgetting!
My sister and her family gave me one of the new Rachel Ray cookbooks i've been wanting! Ohhh i can't wait to try it out!
I'm a huge Rachel Ray fan- her recipes are awesome! They also gave me one of the pictures of their family picture they recently had taken- awww i love it soo much! I have it on my fridge at the moment, but when i get a little money i plan to get a nice frame and put it out
My mom's customer (my mom cleans houses for a living and has had some of her customers since i was a little girl- so i've grown up around them and love them!) Ms. Kathy gave me a gorgeous litlte Christmas tablecloth that was handstitched- so i put it out in our living room for Christmas and it looks soo cute! She also gave me a cute little Santa Clause ornament and a serving dish with two polar bears on it
I love it!
My cousin James was my Secret Santa (we have too large of a family to do gifts for everyone, so we draw names and pick out one for our extended family
) gave me a $15 gift card to Spin Street (one of our many local music stores!
) I'll put that one to good use soon

A couple of blankets (one electric), tea, chocolate, gift card for hobby lobby, fuzzy socks, a dvd, some sleep sets - pants and tees,... and apparently a worse memory then usual - I can't remember what else I got.
In my own defense, I've slept since then and that always makes me forget things.
Oh, and a nosy Tomas who must sniff everything and complain because I have other animal smells on my shoes.
He's currently "talking" to DH about a box he's claimed as his.

I hope it wasn't stolen
Grandma gave me a few little purses which each had a little gift in them. One had brown boho earrings, another had a crystal butterfly hair clip and another had $100. They were all in a little zip up jewellery case. She also gave me a beautiful sheer scarf/shoulder wrap which has maroon and emerald green velvet roses/leaves sewn onto it, i'm using it at the next house to decorate mums dressing table when she gives it to me
Tomorrow i'm going deal hunting with my xmas money!
From Rob:
$50 Books-A-Million gift card, the Slanket (www.theslanket.com) but it is back ordered until January.
From Rob's parents:
3 cat calendars (my house will have one in every room at this rate!), a cat ornament from Petsmart charities, a wedding ornament for us for our tree next year, a cat ring holder, and some stocking stuffers.
From Rob's brother:
We got a $25 gift card to Applebees.\\
From the rest of his family in Maine:
$25 in a "money dispenser", $25 to Wal*Mart, $25 to Olive Garden
Not sure what I'm getting from my parents yet. I'm not seeing them until this coming weekend. I know my dad was going to get me a shot glass shelf thing, because I am collecting state shot glasses when I go on road trips for each state I've been to.
The kittens got some toy attachments to replace the ones they shredded, a laser pointer, crinkle ball, treats, their cat tree (in the beginning of the month), two catnip pads to lay on, and a fish bowl that can also double as a water or food bowl with fake fish that swim in the bottom.
Rob got a $100 gift card for Sears from me, and a $5 rewards card they gave me when I bought the gift card. And a card from me with Garfield on it that said "It's Christmas! I'll kiss you if you stand under the mistletoe." Then inside "Heck - I'll kiss you if you stand under swamp moss!"

I got some giftcards: $25 to JC Penny, $75 to Kohls, $25 to 99 Restaurant .. I think I got a couple more but I dont remember. Also, I got new cookie sheets, a new frying pan with cover, a nice jewlery chest, Taylor Swift CD. I was playing with my cousins Nintendo DS yesterday and now I REALLY want one. It was so much fun! I'm hoping if I drop enough hints, my boyfriend will buy one for me for my Christmas present, because i dont think he got me anything yet. And we're going to his house this weekend for our Christmas with his parents and family.
You needed a drill and bits? A real man only needs 2 things - duck tape and a hammer!
If something moves and it shouldn't, use the tape.
If something doesn't move and it should, use the hammer!
I feel guilty for doing this. Just like a proud father. Click on the middle photo at the top and SEE what I got for Christmas!
Awww... how cute!
I got a new sound system, shoes, a new coat, and a video game for my Wii.
The best gift I got though was 8 hours of movie watching with DH. It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Die Hard, and Gremlins. Nothing like a holiday movie marathon.
We then went out and saw Juno.
She's very cute! Congratulations!
There is no reason for feeling guilty for that! Congrats!
Looks like everyone got nice gifts! Congrads to Persi & Allie on the new family member!

) pajamas, Bath and Body Works, lottery tickets for the big drawing on New Years in WI and scratchoffs (Scott won, I didn't), and money.
My Grandma made us cookies and gave the kitties their own special ceramic bowls with their names on them (they're so pretty don't know if I'll let them actually use them!

With the money i got from my grandmother today i bought new jeans (only have one pair that's starting to fray on the inseams (i can't seem to find a pair that is non stretch and fits comfortably, so i get the stretch ones but they wear out quicker and get baggy)
I went to a shop called T2, one just opened near me, the closest after that is alot further out. I bought a bag of Red Chai and Honey green almond in loose leaves. A little japanese cup, a scoop and a mesh strainer with chain
Exciting@!
