*Update*: One Year on and Christmas is yet again one more sleep away. Once you've opened 2005's goodies, post your lists of what you got here! You can also put what you gave if you want.
Bump, Bump Bump it Up!
It's that time of year again, so Uncle Joe is asking you all what you got for Christmas. I understand that it's a day early, but some of us have already got one or two goodies (myself included, though only one ) and being the power hungry/self-obsessed turnip that I am, I wanted people to post in one of my threads, so I made sure it got bumped a day early. Ha ha, I'm evil!
Santa doesn't come until tonight, so anyone posting their gifts has peeked or they don't believe in the 'big guy'.
With eight grandkids we have to play along with the Santa thing until tomorrow morning (oh, so early, probably 6 or 7 am). We are babysitting three of the grandkids tonight so that will make it special when we get up in the morning.
I hope Santa thinks I have been pretty good this year because I did ask for more than usual.

well, I don`t really know what I will recieve...but I will in a few hours! --I bet that my sister bought me the new Harry Potter book on the hard cover edition--
My immediate family got together, last night, and exchanged gifts.
I received:
My Mom and Step-Father gave me a King size Vellux blanket, some HisStory All-over Body Wash, some RDX Cologne Spray, a wallet, a new comforter, and shams.
My Sister, her Husband, and my nephew bought me Fruit of the Loom socks and boxer briefs. I REALLY needed these. A man can never have too many socks and boxer briefs!
My Step-Sister and Step-Brother gave me a Toastmaster Wide Toaster (so wide, I can toast bagels), and a gift card to Wal-Mart.
I attended my work party, last weekend.
My Boss and his Wife gave each employee all sorts of great things, plus $300.00. In my work stocking, I got a Shower Clock/Radio, some card games, gum, Logan's Run (DVD), a $30.00 Quik Trip gift card, a $16.00 Cinemark Gift Card, a Polar Express Hallmark Bell ornament, a Polar Express Golden Ticket (bookmark), and several other trinkets!
With some of the money I got from my Boss, I bought several DVD's (which I've listed in the DVD thread), and two media storage cases, to put all of my DVD's into.
I've had a great Christmas!
I can't wait to enjoy Christmas with my immediate, and extended family, tomorrow!
