Your Christmas Gifts, and the best one you received! (merged)

[Dave Byrd]

I got underwear and a radio and slippers, too. Those are pretty good presents!

I got a couple of gift certificates and two books I was wanting. Two golf shirts. A watch from my wife. Some ski boots. A few DVDs. My parents gave me two nice sweaters and some ties and dress shirts. I like everything I got, but the watch probably takes first place. Our son gave us a together present of a new color printer. Plus he hooked it up and installed the print drivers.

I got nothing. I didnt even get good tips at work that day. In fact, I had two tables and made $7.

Wait.. I wont say I got nothing... I got to talk to my brother. He ships out to Iraq in a couple hours. Well... hell be in Kuwait for a couple weeks first. But then he goes to Camp Calzoun(or however the fuck its spelled).

I almost feel guilty, I got such wonderful things!

And tomorrow I dont have to work and no extended family will be here so l finally get to hang out and enjoy it all.

My fave part of Christmas was getting to hang out twice w my cousin who is home safely from Iraq. Second was going to a family gathering on Sunday at an Aunt and uncles house- i havent seen them in years and i got lots of hugs from people who were as happy to see me as i was to see them and my other aunt played piano and we gathered around and sang for an hour just like it was 1978, it was surreal and sweet. And thirdly seeing my daughter open all her goodies and declare it the best Christmas ever and mean it.

You may not be wealthy, but having family makes you very rich indeed, Rejoyce in that. :thumbsup:

You're right Steve. One of the best gifts I got was a new chance to have a better relationship with my mom. She's softened lately, and went so far as to apologize for pushing me too hard academically when I was very very young. That meant more to me than any gift you could hold in your hand. I've always resented that she refused to admit that perhaps I wasn't a stubborn kid after all, but one with normal desires, like playing in the woods and going to sleep-overs with my friends. I have begged her for years to admit that we all need more balance in our lives. Now I want her to have that balance in her OWN life, and laugh more.

I'm glad you had a lovely time stinky! :rastasmoke::rastasmoke:

Toys are fun, but love is the best! I can look back on times in my life when I was really poor, and they were not the worst times- the times when I was alone and without love were by far the hardest. My sister and my niece are coming to visit for the weekend, and I haven't seen them in years, so that would have to be the favorite gift to come-

For Christmas, as always, my dear husband dutifully bought the catalog clippings of clothes I set out on his desk-
I most love my new purple suede ankle boots!

The best gift I "gave" to my husband is a Vapolution - I adore it! It is so easy - I use less weed, the taste is much better, and it spares my lungs. I'll keep green swirly the pipe around only in case of power outtages. I am completely converted to the vapor:thumbsup:

Stinky, I am so glad you got Patsy! I can't wait to meet her.

My Grandma brought me a Golliwog mug and a thermal hat. ... cool.
