What did you get and give for Christmas 2007?

#1 Postby therock1811 » Tue Dec 25, 2007 10:50 am

I got a lot of clothes, a gag gift that can't be mentioned(it's a family site after all ;)), a Shrek 3D poster, and a pair of gloves for my hands which are much needed...

I gave my girlfriend an engagement ring(yes I am getting married next year, details elsewhere), my mom a candle, my stepdad got bungee cords to tie stuff down with, my niece a sippy cup and a one piece jumper, and my sis got a blanket and a pair of pajamas.

I received so many wonderful presents. One of the most surprising from my aunt was a great gift for storm season. She told me that I gave her the idea talking about the hurricane season and preparedness. She bought one for her children too.

My family was wonderful to me. I must have been a good mom & wife this past year. I received wonderful gifts... godiva raspberry cordials, southsea pearl earrings & necklace (to match my ring i got for my birthday this past year), an electric heated lap throw, a santa for my santa collection and a flat wallet. I haven't been to my inlaws yet so i don't know what i'll be receiving from them.

I gave...and i love to give....hd dvd players to my husband and son, ul apparal, coffee grinder & maker, a coach purse, itouches to my son & daughter, hd movies, digital photo keychains, golf stuff for my husband.

I love to give gifts. It gives me such pleasure to watch my family and friends open them. I spend alot of time thinking of the perfect gifts.

A new telephoto for my camera for which I had been dropping hints since I got my camera. Sarcasm immediately ensued.

My MAJOR surprise came with a new Digital camera. I knew my sister was gonna get on, not me though. It's a Sony CyberShot 7.2 mega pixels! I knew most of the other stuff I was getting. Clothes, a new backpack, a Galileo thermometer, money, gift certificates.

I gave mostly money and gift certificates. My family is one to give ideas at the last minute, and that doesnt work for me.

I received more than I needed or expected. The best part was 5 books. One a signed first edition Grisham.

I got a lot of DVD's, which is awesome since I'm a real film buff.

One of which is Season 1 of "Friends", my favorite television show. XD I love it. Kinda hoping for seasons 1 and/or 2 of MythBusters as well, (for my geeky side) but I got enough money this Christmas to buy that myself.
