I got nothing. Reflects my standing in this place.
Absolutely you may. But be forwarned – I’m cooking stuff in small batches. It’s a New Year’s resolution thing. More better food, more less calories.
Okay, after Wednesday night you can add to all this:
From my sister-in-law (who drew my name): New flannel PJs, a candle, a selection of soaps and lotions, and a new makeup bag.
From my in-laws: The Wii game I wanted and some dish towels
I got gifts for the first time in two years. And I got to unwrap them via webcam with my family. It was all very exciting. From my family I got
Makeup including a nice palatte from Sugar, my favorite brand
Fancy soaps just right for travelling
Chocolates
A nice outfit for work including a skirt, which is awesome because I can’t buy them here. Being a size six makes me an enormous amazon who is unable to find clothes in China.
Cold weather stuff a bathrobe, slippers, and long undies.
A picture frame with a picture of me fresh home from Africa wearing geeky braids.
Fancy post-it notes
Books including an excellent book about learning Hanzi and a Trans-Siberian railway guidebook. Very sweet and supportive.
Robotic dog speakers from my cute little cousin, who also made me a lovely card and a paper wallet.
From my friends here in China I got some very nice hand creme, a copy of Tom and Jerry in Sichuan dialect from my Sichuan dialect tutor, a bunch of paper cranes from a student, a giant teddy bear and a pair of mittens that look like poodles (my boss thinks I’m eight years old.)
I love Christmas!
A blu-ray player… oh yeah, it also doubles as a Sony Playstation 3. I’m 47 years old by the way 
Mrs. Homie and I got for each other a 42" LCD 1080p HDTV. I got myself a Wii and Guitar Hero World Tour. She got me Super Mario Galaxy and some shirts. I got her an 8GB Zune (pink!).
Not a bad score at all, all things considered.
Well, it’s the thought that counts. 
Man, those are my kind of Christmas gifts! I got:
A new Foodsaver (old, failing one got retired)
A Whirlpool water cooler with adjustable temp hot/cold water dispensers (manthous & I bought together)
A Garlic bulb XMas ornament and $25 Sur la Table gift card
A Foodsaver marinating canister
A set of salt & pepper “piglets”
A waffle maker (given to manthous & I)
A pound of Coffee
A gift card to my favorite mexican restaurant
A “Cooking the Costco Way” cookbook (it was the thought that counted!)
and PJs, this beautiful wood-handled utility knife that I actually requested but never thought I’d get, cause you know—it’s a weird request for a woman, a couple Blu-Ray DVDs, some hand-knitted socks (beautiful), and some other misc (awesome) stuff.
Man, I kinda raked it in this year! 
A lovely Fourth Doctor scarf–I’m not quite sure which season it is.
An equally lovely hat. Let’s just say that if a man walks down the street in this hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything. 
It was a rather geeky christmas, yes.
My darling got me a Kitchenaid stand mixer. Wonder what’s on her devious mind.
Let’s see. Various sausage/cheese/cakes/misc foods.
Couple of T-shirts that will come out when it’s time to go riding again.
That’s all that comes to mind at the moment. Will update if I remember anything interesting
He forgot about the dragon lamp for his desk

But I must say, the mixer was the best since he’s such an awesome baker!
A book that came with an apology. My sister-in-law saw a book she knew I would love and wouldn’t have seen and forgot that I had asked for “no presents for me - put a gift for an poor kid under a charity tree.” She did that with the rest of the gift money and everyone else did it for me. I was very pleased. Next year should be nothing…except gifts for poor kids.
Beat me?
Santa put a really long string in my stocking. When I started to pull it out, there were pieces of Kisses and mint patties tied along the string in various places. There was also a Starbucks giftcard, concert tickets to Trans Siberian Orchestra, and finally reaching the end was also a symbol of our beginning - a silver wedding band with a Gaelic inscription awwwwww (yes, I teared up just a wee bit).
I also got a totally cool “Your Intelligence is Stupid” Gir t-shirt.
A pair of D20 rear view mirror dice
Collectors edition of Beetle the Bard (almost as awesome as the ring)
a faerie oil burner & oils & a faerie/zodiac pewter box
Sex and the City the complete series on DVD.
Starbucks coffee cup & coffee set
Thats all I can think of at this time. I made out big this year so I wont need or want of anything for a few more years.
