The "What I Got For Christmas" Thread
 

So I thought I'd make this thread since Christmas is tomorrow so we can all share what we got =)

I'll start this bad boy off:

amongst other things I got alcohol, a lipstick pallete and some books :D And all of my family were so happy with the gifts I bought them. I got my little sister a bottle of Katy Perry's Purr perfume and she screamed :lol:

Well, potentially a dog. A young black lab (approx 4 months) without a collar wandered onto our property last night right before, he was really thin but friendly so we gave him food and water and we brought him in the house to sleep for the night to stay warm. He's an absolute doll but he shows signs of being abused. Anyway, we are putting up signs today of course in case someone lost him. But if no one claims him then we are going to keep him.

We're calling him Nick for now. I keep adding an S on the end by accident lmao.

I also got a Blue Yeti USB condenser microphone to do recordings with, a rain jacket and rain coat, a basketball hoop and basketball, a lot of gift cards, and some candy and stuff.

Nothing material, which is exactly what I wanted.


But I got some messages right before bed, making me feel loved, appreciated, lucky, and hopeful for our future. And I wouldn't trade those, for a new car.:lol:



Seriously, though. Good sh*t.:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt II DVD
Voyage of the Dawn Treader DVD
Pirates: On Stranger Tides DVD

The Tudors (Complete 4 Series) DVD Boxed Set

Some CDs

Some Books

Feeling utterly miserable, crappiest Christmas ever, all alone feeling sorry for myself, pathetic eh? :lol:

But I don't plan on feeling like this after today - tomorrow, gonna pick myself up, dust myself down, and start all over again, tra-la-la-la! :nod:

Hope everyone is having a fab time! :thumbsup:

I hope you're feeling better, soon! Life is a journey. And a new year is just around the corner!!! Better things are waiting for you!:woohoo:

Thanks hon! :xoxo:

Don't feel quite so alone now!

I forgot to mention in my pressie list that I got a BEAUTIFUL drawing of Lindsey from Bee.

I am going to get it framed straight after the New Year weekend!

Yay, a Bee original!!! :blob1:

Now that is really sweet that you rescued that dog. :thumbsup: My dad had a yellow lab, Jack, who has since passed, but he was the nicest dog you could ever have; they are great dogs.

Speaking of dogs, my toy poodle, Bogart, got sick Friday. Got him into the vet; he has pancreatitis. He's on four different medicines. He's better now though, playing with his gifts from Santa, mostly his stuffed, squeaky ball.

As for what I got for Christmas, just junk. No, just kidding, stuff I asked for from my husband, too numerous to mention (he spent way too much on me, more on me than me him), but my favs are a parrot watch, GC to Barnes & Noble (so I can by books for my Color Nook), & peace sign shot glass because one can always use a few shots of something :laugh:. Got some gifts from co-workers, mostly gift cards. My siblings & I don't usually exchange gifts (We give to the kids, nieces & nephews), but my one sister got me a Lucy music box. She's playing a flute. My sister told the clerk that this is my oldest sister (because I used to play the flute in high school). It is way cool.

Lee :)

I got some lovely presents from my family, a beautiful leather biker jacket, clothes, Storms (CAH's book), The Dance DVD and various other bits and pieces :D
From my grandma I got a Diana F+ mini (Charly please help, I've ruined four reels of film already :laugh: ) and gift cards and money from other family members.
I'm seeing more family tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it, if only I could figure out how to use that camera properly...

Viv, your forever positive attitude is an inspiration. Whatever life's throwing at you I sincerely hope thinks look up for you in the New Year. Many times I have come onto The Ledge feeling less than happy and your posts have put a smile on my face. :nod:

Christmas prezzies: Anti wrinkle cream (by request - would feel a little insulted otherwise) white gold earrings, make up, lingerie, pyjamas, obligatory smellies, alcohol by the bucket load, chocolate by the bucket full and gift vouchers galore which make me suspect I am difficult to buy for. :laugh:

Hope everyone has had a great day.

Good on you, Bee. Hope he gets on with your other cat!

Gill.

I hope you get to keep him or he ends up in a good home . I got a dog from a Rescue Centre 10 years ago who was found as a stray and has a broken tail, possibly a sign of abuse. It is heartbreaking to think of him being mistreated especially as he has turned out to be the most loving, cuddly dog you could wish for.:nod:

Hope Bogart continues to recover. If he's enjoying his Christmas toys things are definitely looking up. :thumbsup:

Gill.

I didn't get **** for Xmas, so I got myself the best gift ever.
