What did everyone get for Christmas?
I got a new iPod, some kind of cool Biosphere thing that I can put a frog in (or a gecko, or a lizard, or a spidey), a new “home designer” CAD-type program for my PC, a handheld organiser, a sewing machine, a pretty winter vest, a scarf and hat set, a new purse, a gift set of Tim’s coffee (WOOHOO! I had just run out!), many ornaments for next year, and many fat-free candies to munch on.
Cool!
What’d you get?
I got a really, really kickass bike (a trek 7100 hybrid… the nicest bike I’ve ever had), a Canon AE-1 camera, an asahi pentax k-1000 camera, a Venture Brother’s t-shirt, an alien Mr. Potato head, the obligatory girly soaps, and a bunch of other kickass stuff…
… including a lawn gnome.
I’m so spoiled this year!
Oh, sheesh, yeah, I got a bike, too. :smack:
I got it about a month ago, though, but still, it was a Christmas present.
Hey, I got some sarcasm and heartbreak, a little fear, ridicule, and alienation!
Merry Christmas!!
Hubby did good. Granted, it was because my best friend found the perfect gift in a store, and called him up and instructed him to go buy it, but it still counts. I got an amber ring, amber earrings, and an amber necklace. They’re purty! And I got a sweater from my mom, and a Basket O’Bath Stuff from the kids, and some new bath towels. And then I got fat and sleepy from the the ham dinner at Mom’s house.
I got a fleecy jacket, some jeans, Christmas ornaments, a “Cinderella” DVD (from my sister - that was so sweet! She remembered that that was my favorite as a kid), a Home Depot gift card, money, lots of candy, and kisses and hugs.
devilsknew, what happened?
Damn. Was that *all * you put on your list?
[sub]I’m sorry. That was more sarcasm. I didn’t mean it in a mean way, though, only hoping to lighten the situation. I hope the rest of your day is better.[/sub]
I got clothes, a bunch of stuff for my mp3 player, a new memory stick, some perfume, lots of candy, books, and socks.
I got exactly what I asked for: yesterday on Christmas Day some shirts, and today, in the Boxing Day round, hankies and socks. Boring but useful.
I got a peaceful Christmas. A couple of gifts from friends, one from overseas. A string of cards hanging above the computer here. A visit from a dear friend yesterday, a shared cuppa and a chat – excellent way to spend the afternoon on Christmas Day. Thanks to her, leaving me food she’d cooked and was left over from a family meal – I’d been able to taste rabbit for the first time last night. (It’s not bad). A special treat.
Slowly, over the next couple of weeks, I’ll reconnect with my network again, and then the new year will begin in earnest.
Not heavy on the “booty” scale – but this has been one of the best Christmases I’ve had in years. 
I got some clothes, a bikers personal rear-view mirror, a new jacket, and a toilet seat.
I got a bunch of crap this year. Seriously, it was like, three Christmases in one!
First of all, my mother paid one of my car payments for me (because I’m a poor college student). Her and my dad also got me a really nice button up shirt, a $15 Subway Gift Card, a $20 gift certificate to my favorite hair salon, a boatload of losing lottery tickets and some candy and other random stuff.
My brother got me some blank CDs, my aunt gave me 25 bucks, my other aunt gave me earrings, my grandma gave me 30 bucks, and my other grandma gave me a gift certificate to a really cool bracelet store here in town.
To top that all off, my boyfriend gave me a pair of VERY pretty earrings, and season 1 of Lost (which my parents watched nonstop for - literally - seven hours last night and are actually watching it right now at 10:45 in the morning). He also bought me a Something Awful forums account. Then his parents gave us each a check for $250 (HOLY CRAP!) and got me the Adobe Photoshop CS2 upgrade (EVEN HOLIER CRAP!) which just kind of totally blew me away. I would have been ecstatic with like, 25 bucks from them!
I feel so spoiled :O.
My booty is so darn irresistable that half the ladies on the SDMB would go berserk if I did, Anastasaeon.
I don’t wanna cause another riot.
Bosda Didn’t your daddy teach you that you go to hell for lying just like you do for stealing? 
Link please? I wants me one!
I got a couple of gift cetificates to Barnes & Noble, a ski mask (I look like a ninja when I put on), some long sleeve shirts, a hammer, a set of pliers, new pair of leather gloves, some wool socks, and a “power station” (thats something that I can plug into one outlet, then use it to charge my cell phone, my PDA, and MP3 player… except the one of those I actually have is the cell phone).
It’s made for kids, but as an adult, it’s the kind of “toy” I would have loved to have growing up, and heck, I still think it’s cool today. The instruction booklet tells you how to create different Biomes: Rainforest, Grassland, Wetlands, Desert. I’m going for the Rainforest one, I think. You can catch your own wiggly critters (with the firm instruction to “respect all nature and release it after observing it for a few days, even insects”) but it also has recommendations for what you can go and get from the pet store for each Biome. I think I want a tree frog. You put in the soil, plant your own plants (they give simple ideas for what to use there, too), create “rain” (a squat syringe on top of the dome), it has a little digital display for the time and is a thermometre, and a light… damn cool. Needs four AA batteries for that part, which I’m going out to get today, along with some soil and african violets.
Once I get the whole thing set up and growing, I’m getting me a frog! 
Wow, gots to get me one of those Biospheres.
Um, lessee: some sweaters, a panorama picture of the “old” and “new” Soldier Fields, a bag of gourmet popcorn, socks (Bus Wife has now officially become my mother), a set of See/Hear/Speak No Evil monkeys to decorate the powder room which I am going to be allowed to do in a Monkey theme; some CD’s and Bears victory over the peckers to clinch me a date on the 14th or 15th at Soldier Field.
I got - 4 shirts (2 from my parents, 2 from my grandmother), a bunch of socks (good, because I keep losing the frelling things) and underwear (ditto), some money, a Dilbert tree ornament, some candy (most of which is already eaten), a bank (which had the candy in it, not the money) and 3 video games - Soul Cal III, We <3 Katamari, and Dragon Quest VIII.
And, when my family get our gifts from some family friends, I’ll be getting an M&M dispenser (which they’ve been giving me for the past 5 years…the last one was Red and Peanut golfing).
Rick old chap–merely because the one & only time you showed off your booty in public was such a diaster (and let’s be frank about it: the Baboon Enclosure at the Zoo was a poor choice of venues) doesn’t mean that my tushie isn’t a Joy And A Wonder To Behold™.
