Okay, I shared with you — now it’s your turn…

…what did you get for Christmas?


Responses

  1. I got some chocolate, but not enough. I got a really nice portrait of my youngest child which was photographed by my eldest child. Superman gave me one of those leatherman multi-tools, the kind that fold up, but when unfolded is pliers with various knife and saw blades and other useful things in the handles. And a page-a-day calendar of the dumbest things said and done.
    Dirk says: …I’m guessing Dubya is featured prominently on that calendar. And you had me at “leatherman”…

  2. I got to some Christmas cards and some Merry christmas E-Mails. I got to take my dad to his dialysis treatment. I got to celebrate another day of living. I got to live vicariously through Dirk and his Fella. Joy, Rapture, Love of life.

  3. Blue 4GB iPod Nano

  4. An Air Force Academy sweatshirt (and a USAFA coffee mug), a basket my sister in law made, a couple books, candles, a 42-inch flat screen TV (we’ve had it a month or so but it counts), cheese from Wisconsin….and a case of food poisoning, I’m afraid! Not sure what it is, but it’s wicked and I’m heading back to the bathroom…..
    Dirk says: …sweet fetal Jesus! You bet your as that a 42 inch flat screen tv counts!

  5. I got laid. That’s it.
    Dirk says: …nothing wrong with that, Steve.

  6. A reversible king-size comforter from my parents, a blue iPod nano and ipod speaker system from my man, and a cell phone flash drive from my brother and his wife.
    Dirk says: …very nice. And big hugs to you and your man (and best wishes to you two in the new year)!

  7. I got a rock. oh wait – that’s halloween. Mostly money, with which I bought a new prelit Christmas tree the day after for 75% off! My real present won’t get here till February – my 1st grandchild!!!!

  8. Champagne, chocolate, flannel-lined jeans (though it’s been so f***ing hot, I don’t know when I’ll wear them), a CD of 40 years of X-men comics (from my Amazon wish list), a book on cats, B&N gift card, set of very nice steak knives, a travel bag, a Hallmark figurine, and a paper Xmas tree for my office…

    I haven’t bought me my Xmas present yet. I may go for a Wii, but not until I see how much money I have left…

    And I read they’re making Hero into a Showtime series! Stan Lee is heading it up…
    Dirk says: ..shut up! HERO would make an awesome series. And congrats on the haul! Damn, you made out like a bandit.

  9. A sweatshirt, a toaster, an egg timer shaped like a little chef, a bottle of pumpkin candle scent, a manicure set, and an electric trimmer (also from dad and stepmom). I gave myself season 2 of “Saturday Night Live.” I’d bought season 7 of the Simpsons for my step-sister, but apparently she’s being a HUGE bitch* and nobody’s talking to her, so I’m keeping it.

    *She got her brother arrested for battery (a lie), then tried to get him fired from his job. Yeah. I’m unwrapping that motherfucker and I don’t feel guilty…
    Dirk says: …sounds like everybody made out like a bandit this year. Go readers!

  10. A cute little vest I’ve been eyeing up for a while, four pairs of jeans in various shades (apparently everyone is sick of me wearing the ‘comfy’ pair), make-up, a couple of perfumes, a new straightener, a digital camera and all the accessories (memory card, rechargeable batteries and charger, case, etc.), DVDs (Girl Interrupted, Lost and Delirious and the Queer as Folk boxset) plus various clothing and books. Not to mention about $300 in cash. Then from the girlfriend I got the entire Twilight series (apparently not having read it is a sin these days), plus a $50 gift card for the cinema so I can see the movie (she actually stipulated what movie I have to use it to see) a Bailey’s gift set and a pair Dior sunglasses.

    Reading over that, I’ve come to the conclusion I’m a tad spoiled.
    Dirk says: …you say that like it’s a bad thing.

  11. coal

  12. I got to see my parents, 3 year old nephew, brother and his wife all at the same time! From my gf I got a Fossil watch, a digital camera, with all the gadgets, new running shoes (WOOT!), new golf clubs (YAY)! From mom and dad a new crock-pot, a bookshelf stereo, Mary Kay stuff (because you know I’m all girly!) and…500 thread count sheets and dinner at CPK, YUMMY!

  13. The Canadian and I did not exchange gifts that cost money. All I’ve asked for is to finally be allowed to tell a really funny and what he considers a really embarrassing story about himself to my best friend. I’m still a couple of days away from sharing it so I haven’t really gotten my gift yet.
