Well this year I gave to more people than normal so my wallet hurt but my heart felt good.
Mother: Fab Finger Food cook book, Drink Pitcher, Golf Putter's Pool Game (some kind of cross between mini golf and pool that she wanted.
)
Father: Going My Way/Holiday Inn Double feature DVD, A Classic Christmas With The Ed Sullivan Show DVD, A new Belt, The Best of Louis Armstrong & Friends- The Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters CD, The Best of Motown Christmas Vol. 2 -The Christmas Collection: 20th Century Masters CD, Christmas With Johnny Cash CD
Sister: The OC: Season One DVD, Gilmore Girls TV Premiere DVD, What Happens In Vegas DVD, Curly Sue DVD, The Christmas Toy DVD, and a box of silly little things... A small amount of Chocolate Turtles, a Disney Princess mini tin lunch box, Sleeping Beauty pin, stationary, flashlight, etc. (This SOOOO does not count but since I got the 42 disc Bond set and purchased the super big ET boxed set I gave my sister my old copies of Casino Royale and ET. *Shrugs*)
Sister's Boyfriend: $25 Mall Gift Card
The winner of The Pickle gift: (Some tradition we picked up about 6 or 7 years ago from A Christmas store. In the German tradition Legend says that the pickle, a symbol of good luck, was the last ornament to be placed on the tree. The first child to find the pickle on Christmas morning was rewarded with an extra gift left by Santa. We don't seem to apprechaite our tree so much as get silly and frantic. My mother and sister were shoving eachother about this year looking for it!
Also the version we got told us that whoever wins each year must buy the next years gift so it's a wee bit different from that other explanation I found online) This year's Winner, my 26 Year old sister, got a $25 mall gift card, a small box of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, and a bag of Tootsie Roll Midgets.

We laughed a lot about that.)

But I feel satisfied because my gifts were really liked! 
This Richard Ellis was a British (I think ...) photographer. The book I bought my father is full of really old photographs of various places in Malta taken by him. I think the photos were redevoloped from the original glass plates, which accounts for their magnificent quality.
For our mom, we got Mamma Mia! The Movie (single-disc, she doesn't care for bonus features), a new belt, and a pair of gloves she had been looking for in a certain shade of pink and could never find. I got Kram the standard hardcover for The Tales of Beetle the Bard as well as the Disney DVD "Classic Cartoon Favorites, Volume 8 - Holiday Celebration With Mickey & Pals". And Jane is now the proud owner of Twilight in paperback and the latest Fall Out Boy CD, "Folie à Deux".
