Thread: What I Gave For Christmas 2009!!!

Basil got Godzilla:

I mean he GOT Godzilla:

And Scarlett got a new impossibowl I titled Tendril:

What did you folks give?

Little Man's very first action figures. That's right, Nite Owl and Rorschach!
Mr Potato Head makes a fine Owl Ship with all his parts stripped off except for his eyes where his feet normally go for the windshield.



Also:

I've heard it eight or nine times already! We all love it. I highly recommend this album for all families.

The Validator will have to wait for this to come in stock here in Canada, but she eagerly awaits. I wrote her an IOU sonnet.

That's funny! I guess what we got is more important than what we gave.

I handed out some cool stuff (imo) for the family, but the most memorable was the Hello Kitty outfit for my daughter.

Immediately on sight, she termed it the 'Motorcycle Hello Kitty shirt'. It's black so I guess that's where the motorcycle reference comes from.

Along with the faux fur Hello Kitty vest, she is ready to ride across America. lol.

By far, that silly shirt is her new favorite.

What can I say ... she's 5 and adorable.

I'll bite, The kids got clothes for the most part. The Grandkids got a mindnumbing amount of toys and some clothes. My wife got some clothes and an antique wagon seat she saw and made a comment on while she was out at an antique store with me. (quess what I was looking for?)

I was really excited about the wagon seat, as my wife never asks for anything and usually keeps her wants to herself, so when I was able to go back to get it about 2 months later, I was glad to see it was still there.

It's true, it's more blessed to give than to receive.

Here's the seat by the way. It's not fancy or anything, but my wife loves it.

Some of the highlights:

Mom got a basket of CarrieM's things in Lilac, gf got the same in Lavander, brother's gf got the same in Black Ras Vanilla (aka "the Lynn"). Mom also got a gift certificate to buy trees (she loves buying trees...), Dad got clothes and a hone for knives. Brother and I always do Christmas late, so I'm not sure what he's gonna get yet.

icedog your gifts are wonderful!

My family got all sorts of stuff from my soap kitchen.
Balms and soaps and emu oil... whipped shea and other stuff.
Hope they will finally quit buying the industry stuff.

well the family gift was a new fish tank ...
72 gallon bowfront, freshwater with the base and hood to have a nice finished look in the living room.

Where are the fish?

It has to cycle to get setup with bacteria so we have just 7 small Danio fish in it. Its a lot of work to start as it takes a couple of weeks and lots of testing for ammonia and water changes.
But once we get it set right it will have quite a few fish... it seems like the request list is growing everyday lol.
