The "What I Got For Christmas" Thread

[Enchanted_Stevi]

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

[ButterCookie]

I'll start this bad boy off:



amongst other things I got alcohol, a lipstick pallete and some books 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

[Silver Springs]

• The Fleetwood Mac Coffee Table book (Which I was not expecting because I hadn't put it on my list, so Buddha bless my Mum for being a mind reader)
• 40 Years Of Queen Coffee Table book
• Where's The Meerkat (Like Where's Waldo/Wally but damn adorable)
• Tapes (Rumours, White Album, Tusk)
• Lindsey Buckingham: Songs From The Small Machine
• A Cookie recipe book and cutters
• A stuffed Pikachu (Fankoo Mark aka Artemis :P)
• Penguin Pyjamas and Socks
• Owl Earrings, Ring and a Necklace
• Lindsey Buckingham Seeds We Sow tour Mug and Keychain (Pending from Viv aka McTrouble. Yayzers!)
• 100 Best Albums of the 80's book
• Massive stuffed Owl (Wearing a waistcoat, glasses and holding a parchment which I have affectionately dubbed "Mr. Fry")
• A stocking of sweets
• A woollen shawl
• Three Indian shawls from myself
• Hand crafted Earrings from myself
• Slippers
• And the best one of alllll........ The money to "pre-adopt" a Cat I've fallen in love with at the Sanctuary I work at, so I can take him with me when I move out of my parent's home next year. He's called Stinky and he's stolen my heart.

^Edit: I'm going to bring him home next week with me to try him out with my other Cat, and if he gets along with him I get to give him a home now! Oh I hope he does.

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.

[HomerMcvie]

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.



Seriously, though. Good sh*t.

Now that is really sweet that you rescued that dog. 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 . 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.

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
From my grandma I got a Diana F+ mini (Charly please help, I've ruined four reels of film already ) 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.

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.

Hope everyone has had a great day.

Gill.

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

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.

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