What cool stuff did you get (or not get) for Christmas or other winter holiday?

[ontheEdgeof17]

All I needed was sweaters....so I was pleased with those. My sis got me Golden Girls Season 1 on DVD. YAY! That's my favorite present this year.

I got from my parents a Far Side book (I don't have any, they have them all) and I got this gorgeous Stevie burned velvet shawl from my dad. It has black fringe and different color "dark" panels of designs in it. It's hard to describe, but it is so beautiful. It's weird that it's Stevie ish, cause my dad wouldn't do that on purpose - guess he just has good taste. Oh, and i got a crock pot (which is actually cool) and $200. Thanks mom and Dad!
*Edit - Stevie/Fleetwood Mac has to do another show just so I can wear this shawl. It's that good.*

I'll keep your recommendations in mind when I give everything a listen.

I got a large framed African painting of a sunset on the Masai from my mother (I actually mentioned I wanted to buy this a couple of months back so it's cool she remembered my fondness for African art)

I also got the book "The Dark Horse Years... The Life and Art of George Harrison" which was totally unexpected but is very cool because I love George's work...

I got Michael Palin's Himalayas book from a fellow Ledgie

And I got a garden full of snow for the first time in many years on Christmas day. which has really made it a great feeling... Looking outside and seeing a really festive sight...

Yay! It is their best album. I love Tragic Kingdom, too, but ROS is just so angsty and well-written/produced. I've been listening to both albums, plus Gwen's solo album a lot lately. And I'm tempted to color my hair hot pink again, because of ROS. XD

Aww...That's sweet. Don't let my judgements sway you, though. I doubt they will. You are pretty opinionated and independent (compliments, of course).

I got the Gilmore Girls season 2 DVDs, a really cute new watch, two of those plug and play Atari clone video games (Pac-Man & Ms. Pac-Man, between them they also have Galaga, Pole Position, and a bunch of others on there), $20 in Blockbuster gift cards, some photo albums, candles, cash, and only ONE penguin-related gift. Normally they go overboard and all I get is penguin crap.

[DeadliestPoison]

- Sony Walkman (my old one had been dropped SO many times)
- Blondie's "Eat To The Beat" and "Plastic Letters" from my sister (I ordered "The Hunter" from Amazon, so my collection's pretty much complete. On to Solo!Debbie!)
- Two shirts
- Blondie's Behind The Music DVD
- Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD (It's fullscreen, though, so I have to get it exchanged for the widescreen)
- Buffy Season 7
- Penguin swag

I'm going to go out later this week and get Patti Smith's "Trampin'," The Pretenders' "Viva El Amor," and possibly Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind if I have enough money left.

I didn't get what I was really hoping for -- an external harddrive (this computer can't handle another internal). I have, like, 600 megs left on this, so I was really shooting for one. :\

I got a great dinner, hugs, and laughter. That’s all I wanted so it’s was a great Christmas.

I got a lot of cool stuff...lots of clothes, and...

- the new U2 album
- $100 bucks worth of Best Buy gift cards (I told everyone I wanted them )
- Yankeeography DVD's
- sneakers
- Yankee jackets (a beautiful leather one, and a warm-up jacket, the same one they use in the games )
- A Yankees Tiffany lamp
- and of course, LIVE AID!

I have been obsessed watching Live Aid all day. It is so amazing it's beyond words. For some reason, Madonna's performance really sticks out for me
