Hehe Merry Christmas to him.

Sounds like Anaconda 2. Is that what you're watching? Or did this happen to somebody for real?

I was blessed this year, as I am every year. I just wasn't home for Christmas this time because of the auto show coming up. All of my gifts were mailed to me.

I gave to my family:

Dad: bluray disc player
Mom: $150.00 gift card to Nordstrom
Sister: Some accessories for her Wii
Brother: Some MN. Vikings things.

I got:

Danbury Mint collectible cars:
1969 Mustang Boss 429
1967 Mustang GT Fastback
1969 COPO Camaro
1969 Dodge Charger pro street
Limited Edition Chevy Impala Sport Coupe

I didn't get any Franklin Mints this year, but I also got money, and two R/C Tamiya cars and one R/C helicopter, two suits and a few DVDs.

I was really surprised to get the R/C helicopter. I mentioned it one time in conversation, and I got.

Actually, my parents got both suits from there. I do like my toys, but I also like dressing too (they know that). I'm always sharp.

I meant if she didn't give you anything car-related. I can picture you in a suit.

Grey's Anatomy episode.. one of the best ones ever, actually..lol. I remember that one!

BF: Lebron James jersey and an MC Escher desk calendar for his office at school.

Brother: had his Phi Delt letters put on an Under Armor hoodie (and it turned out awesome!)

Mom: Uggs and a Westie desk calendar (I get it for her every year).

Dad: Wallet and leather gloves to go with his leather jacket my mom got him.

The rest of our family we send presents to as a family, and most of them got giftcards except for my aunt (a Jim Shore angel) and my grandma (a Magic Bullet).


I got a lot of stuff for my apartment (candles and such), a frying pan, cupcake pans, a Kitchenaid hand mixer and some miscellaneous utensils. I also got a digital picture frame, a Vera Duffel, a couple seasons of House, the most recent season of Grey's, the new Carrie Underwood and Michael Buble CDs, The Lost Symbol, a Coach wristlet, some sweaters, and ballet flats. Some money and miscellaneous gift cards. Santa was good to me this year

That's exactly what it was and they did have to remove it surgically. Glad to know that ep doesn't have to go in the "Inaccurate things in movies/tv" thread.

We just had Christmas for my nephew now that he's back in town and that boy made bank this year. It wasn't until we piled up all of his presents that we realized we'd all bought him at least 4 presents each. Oh to be 11 again...I can't even list everything he got, there's just too much.

I gave:

Roommate 1 /Adopted Big Sis- A "Chicks Rule" calendar/ Duck family picture frame I made myself
Roommate 2/AXO Sister- Itunes gift card
Roommate 3- A book on Chinese Astrology- she's really gotten into astrology lately
Little Sisters- (they both got the same thing)- A framed picture of us at Big/Little Reveal. It's matted, and I decorated the matting with scrapbooking supplies. I also gave them Lindt Truffles, because they are some of the biggest chocolate freaks known to man.
One of my best friends (and a AXO sis)- Another hand decorated frame with a pic of us
Real Big Sister (her combination Christmas/graduation gift)- I'm really proud of this one. It's a silver jewelry box in the shape of a heart, with several levels that swivel out. On top, it's engraved with "Together Let Us Seek the Heights" I figured it was a good gift that she could use and would still remind her of AXO.

I don't really remember what I gave my family- since my siblings are all still at home and jobless, my parents buy the gifts and we divy them up between us.

I got:
A big/little jacket from my adopted big (Jackets are a tradition on my campus)
Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volumes 1 & 2
Julie & Julia
A collapsible measuring cup
Regular measuring spoons
Lots of good chocolate in my stocking
A CHI straightening iron
A sweater from Gap
Short Ugg boots (super surprising and excited!)
Gift cards for Itunes, Barnes and Noble, Sephora, and Gap
Really nice baking sheets from William Sonoma
A beautiful AXO necklace that's engraved with my name & red and green Swarovski crystals

And I think that's it! I know I still have gifts coming from my little sisters and two of my roommates- they didn't have time to finish them before break. I'm super excited to see them, since i know most of them are handmade.
