This is going to sound really corny, but I really enjoyed this Christmas, not just because of the presents, but because the family all got together and had a good laugh and it was an excellent day

[Miss Jo]

I told my mom I wanted Toy Story 10th Anniversary, Pocahontas 10th Anniversary, The Lion King Platinum Edition, and Cinderella Platinum Edition. The first three DVDs were in my stocking, but Cinderella wasn't with them. I unwrapped present after present, but the DVD was nowhere to be found. Finally, I had only one gift left to open, and it was too thick to be a DVD. I tore off the wrapping paper, and saw not just the Cinderella Platinum Edition DVD, but the Collector's Gift Set! I wasn't expecting that, so I was pleasantly surprised.

[MadonnasManOne]

I just got back home from my Grandma and Grandpa's house, and they gave EVERYONE cash. I got $25.00 in my card! I'm going to use it to buy the DVD's I want, tomorrow!

[Paka]

I received more practical gifts than not this year - and it's most preferable that way, in my opinion. ^_^

• A new light wool coat and scarf (not for deep winter, but it's nevertheless quite warm)
  New work socks and shoes
  New cold weather boots
  Hundreds of dollars in aid towards fixing the trashed brakes on my car

I also got a few "luxury" items this year, too.

• Monetary help on a round-trip plane ticket from deathie mouse, as well as several "mini-gifts," like -
  • 2 hardcover Salvador Dalí coffee-table books
    A mini Dalí wall calendar
    David Gray - Life in Slow Motion CD
    Wallflowers - Rebel, Sweetheart CD
    John Denver - Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits CD
    As well as lots of patience, and tons of TLC... and I ain't talking about the hip-hop group.
  A red flannel long-sleeve from my dad - he gave one to all family members as an in-joke; then we'll all look like him
  A snarky "I'm really excited to be here" tee shirt
  A lavender aromatherapy wrap and "booties" to stick in the microwave - it's really smelly and anesthetizes you easily
  A Burt's Bees lotions and creams kit
  The Neverending Story II DVD
  Rejected DVD
  The Complete Works of J.A. Donaldson - a packet of my friend's art history papers from this semester, because I was interested in reading them

A good handful of these gifts were from the past few months and weren't just for Christmas, but I like to keep an inclusive gift list to remind myself of the continued generosity I receive. ^_^ An attitude of gratitude, after all!
