What gifts have you gotten so far?

[stanncie]

I know it's early but I thought I would start this thread in anticipation of x-mas/channukah

So far i've gotten....

A set of necklace earrings from my fave patient Wendy (well from her mom , but you get the point)

A box of chocolates from another patient's mom

A dance dance revolution pad from my best friend since my old one broke

I will add as I get more

I want more!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Patrick]

Well I don't get any actual 'gifts' until the 25th, but I've gotten a few cards, a coffe mug from work and someone sent me a basket with chocolates and cookies

[xandra]

A bunch of random clients have brough chocolates to the salon for us all to share.
My co-worker gave me all sorts of hot chocolates got our gift exchange.
And my parents brought me a sarong, beach bag & rum from Jamaica! Oh and perfume from duty free shopping on the plane!

[dumbdiety]

I've gotten a bunch of clothes from my parents (clothes that fit without a belt! YAY!), and I know I'm getting a bunch of books that I've been wanting. Dunno what else I'll be getting (I don't know where their hiding spots are in their new house! ;D)

[jennifer]

Well, haven't gotten any official christmas gifts yet! 24th here I come

But, I've gotten ALL my stuff back from my ex, WOHOO! Ok, i left him, but still feels weird to have EVERYTHING back, including your disposabel rasor for crying out loud I mean, couldn't you have just thrown that out! He even gave me a sock back that doesn't even have it's brother... MANNNNNNN try to break my heart and make me feel bad...

Update on gifts
Today I got

A pair of silver earrings/necklace
More chocolate in a heart shaped box and
A light sweater

I feel loved!!!!!!!

[Jules80]

are sweaters even necessary in south florida?

i got a winter coat from my parents and a compact mirror from one of my friends.

[stanncie]

no they rarely are jules, but this isn't really a sweater it's a very light woven sweater type thing and it's pink! heehe I love pink. I have a patient that demands I always wear pink when I go see him, I think that's a bit strange but hey whatever it takes right?

[jennifer]

Ah ok, fetichism

Stanncie, yup, he's really in a messed up mood, kind of sad to see though, I mean, we always had great communication, so it's weird for me to see him broken up to the point he gives me back the business card to a restaurant we went together. And the little bit of paper I wrote the directions to my country place on a year ago... weird! Anyways!


xxoxox

My god! what did you do to this poor man jenn? j/k of course. I'm sad that this is happening right around the hoidays for you. I hope you have lots of family and friends to tide you over

It's not quite Christmas morning yet, so haven't actually "opened" any gifts. I did buy a "gift" for myself though, so I do have that in hand already - a new digital SLR Camera for my next trip to Europe! It's a rather extravagant gift, so wouldn't expect my Sons to buy something like that.

I haven't tried it out yet (except for a few "test shots"), as I'm trying to restrain myself until Christmas morning. I did take the liberty of reading through the manuals however, and charging the batteries so that everything is ready to go. There are so many "bells & whistles" in this camera, it's going to take me months to get used to it!

Anyway, will have to wait until the morning to see the rest of the gifts. Hope everyone enjoys their Christmas!

One other point, it doesn't look like we'll have a "white Christmas" here in the Okanagan. There is a bit of residual snow on the ground but the temp's have been about +7C during the day, so it's melting quickly in the rain. There's lots of snow at the local ski resort though (about a 10-degree differential between the valley and the resort), so I imagine they're happy! The resorts at the coast (including Whistler) are getting rained out, so I suspect that Big White and Silver Star will be "packed" for the next week or two.

Good night to all, and to all a good night!

[stanncie]

That's a cool gift eagle. I really haven't indulged myself very much this year, I am thinking of buying some floor seats for an upcoming Juanes concert maybe I will cuz I loooove juanes.

Final update on the gifts

2 dvd collection thingies, one for south park and the other mcgyver hehee from my sister
A nice top from my aunt
Jewelry from my mom
China set from my mom
Workout clothes from my other aunt
Cute glittery shoes from my mom
Another top from another aunt
Earrings from my cousin
Cahsmere sweater from my best friend

That's all pheew!!

This was a great x-mas and I wish everyone had a good one as well
I will post the craziness in my family party later

[xandra]

I have a gift that I bet will top everyones!!

I got to meet my 2 cousins that I've never met before!! (the crazy part is that their 17 & 19 and I'm 21 & we've never seen each other)
Their Mom is divorced from my uncle (who we don't see often either.. maybe 5 times I can remember in my life) & the boys were raised by their mother. Their father took them to my aunts place this Christmas to see all of the family... it was probably the best gift I've got!!

[stanncie]

That is soo cool xandra. I know how you feel, my family is very extensive and whenever I visit my native country Peru I always end up meeting some new family member. It's pretty cool cuz i always find similarities between us and such!
