Awesome things we get for Christmas!

[gypsy4life]

Obviously, the Stevie Nicks signed microphone was awesome for me! I also got a new video camera, a sewing machine, and the perfume my Mom looked up on the internet that Stevie wears called "Fracas". Let me say this, it is no wonder people talk about how good she smells...mmmmm..it's awesome!

I got many other nice things, I mean, to be 31 years old and be as excited as I was in the 80s when I got my coveted Cabbage Patch Kid...well, it's been an awesome Christmas!

It was a good Christmas for me. I haven't gotten my gifts from my friends yet, we've got a big exchanged planned at the beginning of next week, but from my family:

Victorias Secret and Sephora gift cards
The Complete Works of Kafka
A biography on Mao
A hair straightener
Lots of Penn State gear!
A gorgeous new winter coat

Well, it will be purchased on special occasions only for me, it is quite expensive. I do LOVE it though, it is nothing like I've ever smelled before. Very unique-no wonder Miss Nicks wears it!

My greatest present beside the Fleetwood Mac concert in October was Alf on DVD!! I've been watching & laughing my ass off since Thursday night whenever we weren't visiting relatives (). I just LOVE Alf .
I also got new stereo equipment so finally I can listen to CDs again without having to fight with this stupid thing for half an hour before. Yayay. My dad immediately grabbed my old one to take it to his workplace so he can always listen to Fleetwood Mac. He told me the people there already call him crazy. Sometimes I'm not sure if it was a good idea to take him to the concert .
From most of my relatives I got money so I'm gonna do some online shopping the next days .

All in all I have to say this Christmast was not a bad one . Though the absolutely greatest present is that all my relatives still speak to each other after spending the whole day together yesterday. This truly is a gift.

Why yes, that is a Tremonti SE PRS guitar. I'm too lazy to take my own pictures, but there ya go! Isn't it amazing? I'm in love. But I feel bad for my stratocaster, because he'll be on the shelf for a little while.

I also got

A LCD flat screen TV that is hanging from my wall.
The promise that I will get a Droid when my phone contract is up.
A new North Face jacket thing. ♥
A designer contact case . (Which I didn't know I needed, but it's super cute!)
57382957383 iTunes giftcards.
All of this on top of a lot of sentimental things from my grandparents and... perhaps the best of all...

I'm getting my braces off in about a week! (I've had them for four years. It's time they come off.)

I'm a damn spoiled kid. (But this all was part of my birthday present too.)

Alexa and Pattie - Ugh. I have the env2 too. And I have a year of my contract left still. But I got the iTouch over the summer, and I love it! You guys should too

Edit: Oh yeah, I killed my laptop. Goodbye precious memories. Goodbye iTunes. Goodbye hours and hours of Stevie/Mac video, music, and pictures. Goodbye 150 pictures of Billie Joe Armstrong I had saved. I need a new hardrive, but I'm really hoping that a tech wiz can salvage some of the pictures of my family. But other than that. It was a pretty amazing Christmas ))

Haha, no. I'm a sophomore at Wellesley College in Boston. My mom is a Penn State alumna and my best friend is currently attending, though, so I've got a lot of loyalty to the school. Plus, my women's college doesn't exactly give me my football fix, and my boyfriend goes to NYU so I'm not getting it there, either. JoePa's boys are a good solution.

Christmas has been kind of bittersweet this year, as my Grandma passed away last Friday, and we had the funeral service the Tuesday before Christmas.

But...

we did try to make the most of Christmas. Among other things, I got an amazing fringed pair of leather Minnetonka boots that I adore.

The Toto CDs and DVD would sit well with me too... I still remember well the concert I went to in March last year (my first ever concert, in fact)... "Africa" was the best encore they could've possibly chosen! Just like FM choosing "Silver Springs" for the Unleashed tour!

[estranged4life]

didn't ask for anything nor did I receive any item(s), and I am fine with that.

I'm more of a giving soul than one who wants (ie-For the first time, I got busted leaving a large tip at a restaurant for the food server - which is a tradition that Debbie & I started years ago at the holiday season. I left a $35 tip on an $8 meal and the female server caught me as I was leaving and thanked me, I prefer to leave the building before they find the tip).

That's wonderful! Just like you I didn't ask for anything but did receive some shower gels from various family members. I gave the paper boy a £20 note as I do every year, and was able to spoil my grandmother with tickets to Holiday on Ice!

Ah, Toto! I was heartbroken when they split last year. I never did get to see them live but I love the songs Rosanna, You Are The Flower, Hold The Line, Hydra... and not too long after a favourite band of mine, Thunder, decided to split aswell!!
