what did you get for christmas?
 

i am starting this thread now cause i got some of my gifts already..

my bf got me 1/2 carat diamond earrings, Ralph Lauren Blue perfume, an American Eagle hooded sweatshirt, and a BIG blue stuffed Care Bear :)

Ok yesterday was our Christmass party so I will add. I got some frames (picture) and lotion and these cute little wall plaques with angles on them.


Please no one flame at us by saying "christmass is the time for giving and family" I know that, but gift are an added bonus.


Christia

The "not-BF" gave me a Tiffany's ring and a set of cute VS undies and said that I'd be getting the second half after the Hawaii Bowl. I can't wait for the second half!

So far I've gotten an Ulta gift card and a Lazarus gift card...I like my gifts. :)

and of course, our office as a whole has gotten enough chocolate to choke a horse.

So far I know I've gotten a Brooks Brothers 3/4 length wool/cashmere coat -kinda of a cross between camel and brown, and a pair of black aerosoles boots -very cute even for aerosoles...

I haven't received my presents yet.....but I do know of what some of them are :D

*pair of black L.L Bean knee-high leather boots
*white/pink/black Letter hat from greek-house
*grey baby letter tee frm greek-house
*brown leather initial handbag
*matching clutch :)
*white gold bracelet (TKE209)
*Orange-flavored chocolate (TKE209, hehe..long story)
*$200
*suede-down comforter
*Longaberger crock and vanilla candle
*18 piece dinnerware set (TKE209's parents...)
*Finding Nemo
*The Chronicles of Narnia
*The first 4 Harry Potter books :D
*"The DaVinci Code"
*"Maniac Magee"by Jerry Spinelli

My favorite gift...... "Coupons for Kayla" by TKE209....all my girlfriends were jealous :p :D :D

I don't know about anyone else, but my dad and stepmom gave me:

*money
*a Nine West handbag--it's so cute...just the right size for going out
*basket of stuff from Bath & Body Works
*silver San Marco bracelet
*gift certificate to a filling station so I can buy gasoline to go visit my boyfriend :p

I've just exchanged with my fiance, and he completely spoiled me! He gave me a sapphire (birthstone) necklace, a matching Claddaugh necklace & earrings, a sweater, two HUGE Beatles/John Lennon books, a framed John Lennon sketch, a Victoria's Secret gift bag & certificate, Etta James' "At Last" cd, and I think the proverbial partridge in a pear tree!

I think I'll keep him! :)

Mr. KR got me two David Yurman pieces: a silver and gold cable bracelet with diamond bands around the endcaps and a silver and gold ring with a citrine.

But my favorite presents are homemade necklaces and cards from my babies :)

Nice does Mr. KR have a brother? lol

I wish I could give my mom homemade jewelry, but she prefers the real stuff. Whenever someone asks her what her size is, she says, "14 karats fits me perfectly." ;)

He does, but he's a dork :(

lol, oh well!

I have no idea! I LOVE the element of surprise Christmas morning. The fiance and I aren't exchanging until New Year's Eve, so I won't be able to share those until later.

My two best friends bought me a Wilson's Leather Coat as a combo Graduation/Christmas/Birthday gift. Now I just need the matching black leather gloves. Hopefully mom wised up to that one :)

Hootie and FAB will probably get a kick outta this, but...
 

I was completely flooooooored tonight when I got a call from my mom asking why we had a big styrofoam box UPS delivered to my house tonight.

IT WAS OMAHA STEAKS FROM CHOPPER816 AND MOM AND DAD!!!

I knew that I had made their Christmas list, but damn, I didn't think I was going to hit the jackpot!

Thank you so much for the kind gesture, Aaron! Expect more chocolate covered macadamia nuts and coffee and other stuff soon! Sucks that I only started my Christmas shopping yesterday!

I got a diamond ring from my great aunt and aunt...it's absolutely gorgeous!

Other than that, I told my parents not to buy me anything.

I just want $$$, I'm not talking about a hundred dollars...I mean the BIG bucks. :) I'm so bad...

I wonder what my friends bought me back stateside??? I guess I'll find out in two months!

Aaron?! Where are MY presents? ;)

got cash from my parents. Not talking about 100 bucks either. :D
(typical of them for xmas)

the bf got me two presents but they're not opened. also going to have more coming....I'm taking him out shopping at Brooks Brothers when he visits next week.

i am also expecting a nice cash gift from the parents. haha i got the real christmas spirit. .....i am kidding people

do you have one of these too? a guy that you are extremely close with and everyone thinks that you are dating but you arent!!!!! cause i have one and he lives with me and for my birthday he gave me this beautiful blue sapphire three stone ring from kays and no one could understand the reasoning of why a guy would give a girl something like that and not be dating....

oh well.

My family celebrates and opens presents on Christmas Eve night.
So here's what I got this Christmas:

* A digital camera, memory card, and printer for it.
* Farberware pots and pans.

* A lady bug rug and this cute lady bug lawn ornament.

It was great because I didn't ask for anything but the grill...so I got surprised on everything I got. It's awesome!
