What did Santa bring you this year?

My sneaky roommate gave me a gift basket from Café du Monde: Two ‘Peace, Love & Beignets’ mugs, a black fleur de lis T-shirt, an orange tea towel, one green and one orange coozie, one green and one orange coaster, a box of beignet mix, and a can of coffee with chicory. And the basket, of course. And a card for Subway so I can have lunch for a week. :slight_smile:

An ant infestation.

A new robe, slippers, a nice storm jacket from Duluth Trading, some tools, and like Der Trihs, more ants than we can handle. Stupid rain.

Gary Patterson calendar (always the best), black leggings, thong underwear, playing cards and dice, and some $.

In the Gift of Infamy this year, my husband bought me a Toilet Seat..

I am such a lucky woman.

I got a nook e-reader! Yay!! And my sweet, sweet hubby already put more than 600 books on it!

My daughter got me some great Bath and Body Works stuff in the Sweet Pea fragrance, and it all came in a sparkly pink acrylic cocktail shaker! :slight_smile:

*A new PC (the old one [del]fried[/del] died). Now all I have to do is get Apple, given the new PC & the new installation of ITUNES, to give me back all of the apps that I have paid for.
(Most were free, so this should work out, but I am Very glad I bought my Passport external hard drive a few years back.)

*Some game points to use for a site I game at.

600 books!111!! Wow!
(Tomorrow we will look online for a laptop for me. I don’t know what I am looking for so any suggestions or online places with deals would be greatly appreciated. I need one for writing and surfing. I’m a simple gal.)

Jeans, Chocolate, a Subway gift card and Stephen King’s Full Dark, No Stars (best present ever).

Candles, lotions, new work shirts which are greatly appreciated, coffee mugs, towels, books, Blue Sun t-shirt, color-coordinated cutting boards and knives and basting brushes, flannel sheets, hair doobobbies and a few gift cards.

Great year!

My best (male) friend bought me a vibrating sponge. It’s going to be a Merry Christmas indeed.

What was special about it? This would have been quite nice.

I got pajamas, a few books, and a weird handmade…thing, with ribbons, from my mom-in-law. MrWhatsit tells me it is supposed to be used for easily transporting a casserole or pie dish. Well, that’s… useful. I think.

My best gift was a package of several pairs of thigh-high striped socks from sockdreams.com. I asked for one pair! One! And I got six!!

Moving thread from IMHO to MPSIMS, per request of OP.

nothing. Just the way I like it.

Although i’m taking the family to Mexico in a few days, so that’s a gift.

It’s a mitzvah!

2 blenders, kitchen accoutrements, wineglasses and a cast iron skillet. We’re leaving in a few minutes for the other side of the family and more presents. If I get another blender, I’m going to be a teensy bit put out.

I got a kindle (yay!!), a ruby ring (my birthstone), a bracelet, a cashmere scarf and an “As Seen on TV” contraption to put lotion on my back. Unfortunately my pop doesn’t have wireless here so I have to wait until I go to my bro’s this afternoon to play with my kindle. Altho I confess to playing with the dictionary and already ordered myself a hot pink cover.

Mark Twain’s autobiography and some gift cards to the West Point Market in Akron. Jambalaya coming up.

A Keurig Platinum coffee brewer. Love.
