What was the best present you got this year?

The Box set extended edition of "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy, all I need now is someone to give me the free time and a generous amount of speed so I can watch it through!

No the best present was having my parents come down for the holiday period. I see so little of them these days.

Have a good one

I was going to say it was a toss up between the rotary saw or the stud finder my wife got. I was going to that is, right up until she put on the Chinese Blouse which somehow found it's way beneath the tree. Yowza! Now that was a Christmas Treat. (And she tells me she plans on wearing it when we go ou for New Years.:devil: :rose: )

My favorite gift that I got, Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 2 for X-Box. I love Dance Dance Revolution and usually nearly kill myself from playing it too much.
 
I can't say I got any one thing that was the best, everything I got was on the list and it was the perfect colour, size, and scent, etc.

One thing that does stand out is , my daughter and her friend won $75.00 at our local Wal-mart, so they went out shopping together. On Christmas Eve my daughter says to me to open a gift she bought me, so I did after making sure she really wanted me to open it before Christmas.

It was a silver heart pendent on a silver chain, she knows I had wanted one, from hubby, and hadn't got one as of yet, so with the money she won she spent it on a chain for me, what a sweet kid I have !!!

Hope everyone had a good one!

I had mentioned a while ago, in passing, that I wanted to get myself a new chopping block for the kitchen.

YOungest remembered, and got me one. I weighs a ton, is around 1 1/2 inches thick, solid wood...I love it.

When we spoke on the phone, he said the one he wanted to get me, was 'a slice of a tree', but if it had fallen to the floor, he seriously doubted I'd be able to lift it.

They have such faith in me *sigh*. When I tell them about a new piece of furniture or something I have bought, I get told to 'not try to lift it on your own, get someone to help.' What do they think I'm going to do, drag in some poor unsuspecting stranger off the street. Oh, youth.
 
A stuffed animal goose that can stand on it's own wire lined feet. Coming soon to an AV near you. ;)

And two things that I've been whining about not being able to find - footsie jammies and a Grumpy Bear (from Care Bears). Yup. I'm real mature. :D

my in-laws finally leaving at 5:30!

...they tried to make me watch all of Bing Crosby in "White Christmas"...I'm sorry, but that movie is so old and so out-of-touch...

...and now the chick-flick and classic cinema lovers are gonna be all over me, right? <LOL>



:D

My not congratulating you sooner (atta boy, rgraham) might explain some of my gifts.

As for my best gift, well, believe it or not, if you took the biggest lump of coal in my stocking, held it in just the right angle and squinted, you could sort of make-out a scene with Belegon, Liar, Evil Alpace, and rgraham playing strip poker--and they were all losing.

You bet, it's kinda scary. And if Vella learns about the switches that came with the lumps of coal, my poor tushy will be in real trouble. I'm gonna try to be a better boy next year--honest.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

I have a grumpy bear that I got when I was 5. He has always slept in bed with me and goes everywhere with me -I even took him into hospital with me when I gave birth to my daughter*L*

They're a devil to find. Damned cheerful bears all over the place instead. ;)
