I've always been grateful for just having my family and friends to keep me company around the holidays each year. I never ask for gifts anymore, but when I do get them I'm really happy with them! That also means I want to show them off and see what wonderful things other people got! :)

So let's share and unwrap our presents once more!

To start off with, my best friends got me a box of super delicious chocolate truffles. You can never go wrong with chocolate as far as I'm concerned!

Today we had our family christmas dinner, which means I got to stuff my face on delicious foods and baked goodies from my mom. I got money from both my parents and my sister to spend on knitting supplies (which is so happeninggggggg!!). And as icing on the cake my dad told me I could take his old Samsung tablet home with me!

I'm super thrilled with all these gifts. The best part however was being able to spend Christmas playing games with my boyfriend and having tons and tons of fun! Nothing can ever beat that! :D
Best thing i got was this

:D I'm so happy everyone got gifts they liked! My best gifts ever, (and I mean EVER. In the history of every christmas prior to this point,) was this:

For those of you who aren't complete guitar geeks, this is the Line 6 amp and FX Pedal. The guys at Line 6 made basically the holy grail of guitar playing: You can make your guitar sound like ANYTHING.

They're calling it the dream rig, and my dad gave it to me yesterday morning. :D :D :D :D :D :D


Also, I got to eat the best freaking ham ever (courtesy of my uncle,) so yes. This year was definitely a success.

My brother got me an inscribed replica of the one ring and Arwen's Evenstar. ;)
DragonStorm

some necomimi brainwave cat ears they are epic and i got lots of choc :)
Not too much stuff, actually. Just a bit of money and a ton of books, which I am super grateful for!

But then one of my friends sent me dinosaur erotica and I am not sure how I feel about that.
I had a great holiday, it was fill with family, love, food, and goodies. In the days leading up to Christmas I did a ton of baking, so everyone got food stuffs with their gift. My boyfriend got me something that I was super excited to see, after being engaged for almost two years I finally got my ring :D!!!!IMAG0741.jpg

But boxing day sales rendered something awesome I squeeled in the store when I saw it.

It sounds like everyone had a good holiday :3
The two big amazing things I got were: a bamboo tea organizer--which has something like eight different varieties of tea in it (from my dad). And an electric water kettle from my mom, which has preset tea temperatures for the different types of tea. So no more microwaving cups of water!

My Christmas has been made! <3 I also got a potato peeler and a 50-piece fairie puzzle--since I'm obsessed with puzzles. XD I completed it in about two minutes.
I got this thingy! Well it's actually still shipping but I'm excited. and candy and new clothes. :3

I think what i enjoyed most of all was going to my parents house and watching everyone open their gifts and enjoy them. this year I made every thought out gifts. Afterwards we went to my grandparents house and fir the first time in many years all of my aunts uncles and cousins came over. It was the best gift ever.

I got to visit with family, eat amazing food, and laze around for a WHOLE WEEK. Score! I think my dad got me a new knife (we won't be trading gifts until next week, since we flew up to visit family) and I should be getting a bit of money to help with my financial security, too. Redbeard always gets me fun things... this year he got me an oil lamp!

But best of all, I got to visit my brother... and he is doing so well that it's hard to believe he ever needed to be where he is now.
I got extremely spoiled this year >_<

I spent christmas with my boyfriends family and I got:
Some gift cards which i bought a nice sweater with,
I got 2 more sweaters, some new jammies, a king size fleece blanket that i love, slippers, a new camera, Zelda Ocarina of time, pasta and kinder surprises, and some other candies, and other miscellaneous stuff.
and for boxing day i went and got a new winter coat which i desperately needed
Havent had christmas with my family yet, but im getting clothes from my dad and i got boots from my sister

I feel very lucky to have received anything
