So what did you find under the tree for Christmas 2010?
 

It's still early, but I thought I would get the Christmas gift giving/receiving thread started early, since I've already opened one gift.:p It's always been a tradition in my family that we can open one gift on Christmas Eve, the rest has to wait for Christmas Day. My Christmas Eve gift was a Coach handbag given to me by my mom. My mom knows I love Coach. My mom's Christmas Eve gift that I got for her was a coat, hat, and scarf outfit. She loved it. We still have to open the rest tomorrow.

What did you find under the tree this year?

A new dryer AND a new furnace!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Santa was too good to me! I got...

- the new Estee Lauder make up gift set (I was in desperate need of replacing just about all my make up!)
- a new perfume
- Wii (the red one with the New Super Mario Brothers!)
- a White Sox snuggie...and actually it's not the snuggie brand so it's a "Blanket with Sleeves" LOL

My brother got me a new cell phone case, which I needed desperately! My fiance took me out to a nice dinner and also got me one of my all time favorite movies on Blu-Ray...Beauty and the Beast!! :) My best friend got me a cute Vera Bradley make up/travel bag. Fiance's family got me a necklace, and one of my aunts and uncles got me a Best Buy gift card.

AND what's even better is I think I hit the nail on the head for all the gifts I gave:
- Fiance got a watch
- My mom got a new hair dryer since hers broke
- My dad got a nice pullover (sounds insignificant...but he is very particular...he HATES fleece, and like 95% of those half zip pullovers are fleece...he hasn't had luck finding what he wants so he was thrilled!)
- My brother got new sturdy winter gloves (hey, it's what he asked for!)
- My best friend, the big bears fan, got the one of the Bears hoodies from Victoria's Secret Pink.

Successful Christmas!

I'm sitting in my room waiting for everyone to wake up so I can start breakfast without pissing anyone off...I'm sosososo hungry. But I know what I'm getting...a pair of Sevens and Laura Mercier makeup. I got my siblings a book of Chuck Norris jokes and a how-to-talk-to-zombies book with sounds and my dad a People of Walmart book. My mom is getting jewelry that I made her, mostly freshwater pearls. My roomie got me color changing nail polish (I have this obsession with weird nail polishes)...I had bought her a watch with a houndstooth face (huge Bama fan) but can't find it so I gotta buy her something else before I head home. Bleh.

That's pretty much it since SO wanted a specific book that relates to his art so I bought it and shipped it to his house so he can go ahead and use it. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a Waxing Poetic charm from him, but we're having a gift exchange (I also bought him a shirt from UO) around New Year's so I don't know until then. I'm pumped for those jeans, even though I'll have to have them tailored before I can wear them. Yet another pitfall of being short.

My mom is still sleeping. I'm waiting...........http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/45.gif

And one of the boxes under the tree is a big one and it has my name on it, and I can't open anything until she wakes up.:mad:

lol CG you're like a little kid.

We did gift opening last night.
I got from my parents:
- A Keurig!!! With lots of K-Cups
- A PSU tie blanket made by my mom
- A camera
- GPS
- A "Griddler" by Cuisinart, it does paninis, steaks, and has a flat top as well (reversable plates)
- Some other nice small things :)

From my boyfriends family:
- From boy I got a Penn State jersey & underarmor. Its too big but he insists it must be...
- A Coach wristlet from his sister & her husband :)
- A panini press, knitted slipper boots & sour patch kids from the parents
- K-Cups & a PSU thermal from the mommas twin & her husband :)

They enjoyed all of their gifts from me as well

I wanted a Color Nook.

I am getting glasses - ordered them last Wednesday.
Ho ho ho middle-aged Christmas.

Some pajamas and some Bath & Body Works stuff from the kids. An Amazon gift card from my dad (that I bought a George Foreman grill and my son's Christmas present with).
