The gift giving was way random this year.

Sister/BIL/nephew: squirrel ornament, squirrel pin, yarn from Japan
BFF in Moscow: awesome socks and some lotion from BBW I may exchange
Boss: $20 gift card to the local food Co-op
coworker 1: bag of pecans from Alabama (everyone got this)
coworker 2: candles that smell like red hots (I gave them away because they gave me a headache, we all got stinky candles to set on fire)
parents: cash I think not sure yet
roommate: $1800 in rent I pay or get evicted, 10 hours of cleaning, utility bills, making up finals
not-boyfriend: telling me it isn't going to work because of X issues he never brought up, on a VOICEMAIL, and all issues are pretty much "change because I don't like you" and are reminiscent of my emotionally and verbally abusive ex. (This I a gift I would have preferred not to receive between my roommate getting drunk and breaking stuff, and then leaving the country).

I made a lot of gifts, which all had a sustainability twist. Knit shopping bags, knit towels and washcloths, knit coffee sleeves, and so on. I had a lot of yarn and no money thanks to my roommate's gift. I also ran out of time but with the weather it didn't matter as I didn't see anyone.

I've had a light Christmas so far. Tomorrow will be my big day (when I get gifts from my Dad and brother). My kids gave me a Janet Evanovich book and a gift set of Sensual Amber stuff from Bath & Body Works. My aunt gave me a scented oil/candle Christmas thing with nice smelling Christmasy scented oils. My Godmother sent me a Target gift certificate. My dad and my brother are generally the ones who are the big spenders though.
