I recieved an AC/DC T-Shirt from stepson. This would have seemed most inappropriate except that I have been getting back into guitar lately and have been learning how to play the opening riff from “Back in Black”. He didn’t know this. I am pretty much oblivious of Rock Bands which appeared after 1971.
I was delighted.
Nada
From husband: Some candle scent thingies, a couple of cds (bluegrass (yay!) and Nickelback (wtf?)), some pajamas, and a wonderful USB heated lap robe. I have measurable toastiness.
Not counting my SDMB Secret Santa gift, I got:
Fiber One chocolate granola bars
Special K strawberry and cinnamon/pecan cereal bars (those are 2 different boxes, not all mixed together)
a sweater
black Isotoner gloves
Ty wizard bear
a restaurant gift card
a gas gift card
a grocery gift card
blue and white striped fuzzy socks
blue and purple striped slippers
a light purple “cozy scarf”
a purple shorts & t-shirt sleepwear set
a soothing gel eye mask
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest special edition DVD
a chocolate cake
a Starbuck’s hot cocoa
(Okay, some of these were for my birthday, but I still got them on Christmas.)
Fudge, cookies, a personalized mousepad, magnetic notepad, calendar, mukluks, slippers, socks, chocolate, body lotion, In N out gift card, Pick up Stix gift card, WalMart gift cards, cash, perfume.
I got my very first ipod, an iTunes gift card, the new Emmylou Harris CD, and cushy house shoes that look like UGG boots.
Things were pretty simple for me this year: Money ($450 total), gift cards (Borders & Macys) and clothes all around. And my brother got me a book containing every single Dilbert comic, which weighs about 20 pounds.
It was an unusually-good Christmas.
Went to see my friends, saw lots of kids, and…
My friends gave me a tookit! 
I promptly went out and added a power drill to it, then used it to assemble the casters onto the Ikea art-supplies cabinet I had bought earlier. I now have a decent set of tools for the first time in my life.
I also got a set of really nice dishes (heavy and squarish, in strong solid colours). I also got, not quite as a present, an electronic cutting machine. Now I can download vector artwork and make stencils of it! And from another friend I picked up a deal on a used SLR.
Food, a gift voucher, and a lava-lava which keeps me cool during our hot weather just now.
I got an M-Audio Fast Track Pro, two microphones, and accompanying mic stands. I also got an Alpine Type-R 10" subwoofer for my car, which I picked out…
Yes, Satellite_Gal kicks ass at picking out gifts… 
S^G
Every single episode of Blackadder!
And a Chia herb garden.
Dad shopped in a truck stop in Idaho this year, so I got huckleberry tea and cordials from him.
Boyfriend gave me a monitor that he was kind of going to give me anyway, but also massages.
For the first time in 47 years, I first thought that I had gotten anything. both my mother and sister are going through difficult times (not financial) and since we’re busy with our baby, then we agreed to not exchange presents this year. My wife is tied up with the baby and we agreed to not worry about it this year.
My mom did send some presents for Beta-chan.
After thinking that this was the first time to never get anything, Beta-chan looked up with the biggest grin a 2 1/2 month-old can give and it became the best Christmas ever.
Perhaps he confused Nickelback with Nickel Creek?
Can I come to your house for dinner tdn? You have so much cool stuff.
I got some very stylish workout clothes from my sister.
My mother got me a travelling Martini set.
My inlaws gave us 200 which we promptly spent.
My daughter is giving me a hair cut but I haven't made the appointment yet. (I know this sounds crazy but I tend to be unwilling to spend on a hair cut so I only cut my hair once or twice a year and the last haircut I got was a Super Cuts mistake that I’ve been waiting to fix)
Step daughters gave us some Jazz Icons DVDs and home made truffles.
Got a Chia Herb Garden too! I’m excited but not altogether confident that I won’t kill the herbs. We’ll see.
And homemade dried apples from my brother which are really addictive (and gone)
I almost forgot my two favorite gifts. Two bottles of Scotch. Macallan 12 and Macallan 15 from my very good friends. Scotch…Good!
We all had a good xmas, present-wise.
Big ticket-
from the 'rents: Adobe fireworks
from the hubby: Adobe dreamweaver upgrade
Budding website designer much?
Also, lots of crossword puzzle books (by request), gift cards to Amazon, REI and Title 9 - all spent, books, music, garden gloves, and a tight black sweater.
Hubby got a case of a wine that we’ve been looking for and I could only find in 1/2 bottles - that’s really a joint prezzy. Motorcycle body armor and footpegs. Also, an iPod Nano and wireless wrist remote for skiing.
We also received some neat art from respective parents. And Cabot cheese - Yum!
My dog got a grunting warthog toy. She loves it.
Aww. That’s the Best Present Ever.
Some kickin’ cologne
Cash
DVD-Miller’s Crossing
Some kickin’ ties
I got a 1/2 hour massage from the kids. They all chipped in on it. Now I just have to call and make the appointment.
Husband gave me a photo to digital converter scanner thingy, that I’ve been playing with today. I have most of the family pictures that my parents have, so now I can do something good with them.
He also gave me the Perelandra Trilogy by C. S. Lewis, which replaces the ones I had years ago that fell apart.
And a set of DVDs of three movie musicals.
Not to mention the present that was under my pillow when I went to bed Christmas Eve. That’s an outfit we won’t be showing the kids.
The best present? Three different times in four days all the kids and grandkids were in the same place and we got to spend time with a lot of the rest of the family, too.
And along those lines, he got a couple of Wii games, so he’s been spending significant amounts of time playing those with the daughters. It’s been fun for him and them, and for me to see.
Candles from my ex-husband
Dog and cat food, and treats from my awesome next-door neighbors
A heated mattress pad from my mother
Tales of Beedle the Bard, A War of Gifts and a calendar from myself
A new home for one of my kittens from a co-worker, yay!
From my sister and brother-in-law: Jewellry box and jewellry from Morocco
My Parents: cash and a gigantic George Foreman grill (well, the cash was the real present but they willingly gave me their grill)
My Boyfriend: went all out since, according to him, I’ve put up with a lot this year
Luxury trip to Belize
Joby Gorillapod Tripod
2 different remote camera operators
Lens cleaning system for my camera
Maneaters of Kumaon
It was still unbelieavably generous. I’m kind of floored.
