I had a great Christmas! Despite the fact that I didn't get to see my mom or brothers this year, it was still good.
From mom & her hubby I got:
- A beautiful china decorative platter plate from New Mexico
- A Shark steam mop (this thing is awesome)
- Some kona coffee and chocolate spoon stirrers for it
- A bottle of Santa Cristina wine (my name is christina so she got a kick out of it)
- A yorkie desk calendar
- A pair of fun doggy socks
- a beautiful book marker from New Mexico
From my 2 brothers and part from my mom I got
- A $200 giftcard for Best Buy which I used to purchase a new digital camera. A Nikon coolpix S550. Its a great little camera and will be perfect for the cruise BF and I are taking in Feb/March. This was my big gift this year, what I really wanted. I also got a 4gb memory card to go with it. Gotta love after Christmas sales!
- I got a check from my dad, its to renew my AAA membership, he gets this for me every year. Its nice to have always.
From BF and his family I got:
- The matching white gold and diamond earrings to go with the necklace he got me for my birthday.
- 2 pairs of fun socks
- 3 of his moms books (she is a writer) they are signed personally too.
- A scent diffuser
- My own remote garage door opener for his house LOL
- An AC/DC power converter for the car. So you can plug in something that needs a regular plug when you are in your car. (yes I actually wanted this! hehe)
- A set of mixers for some vodka mixed drinks
- A beautiful bracelet and matching earrings that his kids made at the bead shop.
- 2 passes to the Museum of Science in Boston.
My moms family
- A Dunkins giftcard
- A Macys giftcard
The best part of this Christmas was my Dad called me after a year or not talking or seeing each other and I went to see him on Christmas Day. It was wonderful and I was so happy to see him and introduce him to my boyfriend (whom I have been with for almost a year). It meant a lot to me and I hope this will be the start of a very good 2009.
