What did you get for Christmas?

[GoinBackToCali]

Who's a big fat liar? I AM!!
Naw, for our April show, we have to breed Jan 2nd, so apparently I have been elected the person to help all the children with their breedings for the show.
In addition to breeding my own kids bunnies, and the neighbors.
And elected to hold a "getting to know your bunny" class.
So we pushed back our rendezvous to Spring break ...
Do you have ANY idea how much the airline charged us PER TICKET to move our flights?

HOLY SCHNIKES!!!

:tantrum:

OK... I dig the traditions of Christmas... and I was a racoon in a past life.. so all the pretty pretty shiney shiney things make me all happy.

Plus, I aint gonna push off my *enlightened*status on my kids.. they should have the same memories I had of Christmas..

They can make up their minds to chant and sport Mala beads when they are grown..

Dang Bo B Bunny callin me out...LOL

From my parents, I got the usual assortment of weird stuff, a Hershey's kiss fondue set, a garden fairy with a solar gazing ball. A Noah's ark statue, which is funny since I am Buddhist, but she got it because there was cows, pigs, and rabbits standing with Noah. OH.... and a really weird preppy-ish silver necklace and earring set. (I don't usually go for matchy matchy jewelry, but it's the thought that counts)

LOL and funny you celebrate Christmas!!!

:biggrin2:I'm a guilty Catholic- what else would you expect!!???

I like that the kids are able to celebrate and all that. Not so much the religious thing but if the families are celebrating - it's hard to not have them do it. Plus, you get gifts!!! LOL!

Honestly, I try to accept the commercialism of Christmas more than a lot of people I guess and I am more "spiritual" regarding Easter.

Well, Christmas with my family isn't till Saturday, but we're done with James's side. Only three parties, don't you know! So the best gift was money, of course. James's grandma passed away a few months ago and his grandpa apparently redistributed some of his hidden-away money to his kids, and they in turn spread the love to their kids, aka us and his siblings. Looks like our slow house improvements will speed up slightly.

Also:

-Gorgeous leather jacket from my MIL.
-old Shadowrun Sega game, which James had asked for. Course we had to go find a Sega system, but since we're playing Shadowrun RPG a lot again he really wanted this old classic.
-Pixar short animations DVD. So cute!
-Lovely new comforter for our bed.

And we got to meet the new 2 week old nephew Bryce. I'll admit it, he's adorable. I'm finally starting to get some maternal instinct, LOL!

I didn't get too much apart from Jasmine.. and what I got was pretty simple, but I'm happy!

I guess it's a win/win situationwith Jasmine.. Me and Pebbles were her early Christmas present (First Christmas with a forever loving family).. and she was Pebbles and my early Christmas present!

Anice white turtleneck

A set of 3 square white shelves

A few tea mugs (mom found some pretty ones really cheap.. so I got 4 haha!)

Candy

Makeup

Disapproving Rabbits book

Rabbit pocket calender

2 photo albums

I have some extra cash too.. so I'm going to see if I can buy some nice boots and bunny toys in the New Year .

We haven'tcelebrated Christmas yet because of Greg's broken ribs and a complication arising from his accident - constant tinnitus. He didgive me apresent that is very personal. The guy who hasn't been to church in 30+ years has decided he wants to go to church with me. Seems he is missingsomething in his life. He got himself a Bible for Christmas and is reading. Tomorrow he has an appointment to meet mypastor and talk. Will wonders never cease? It's the only present Ineed.

They also have awesome counselors if your husband needs guidance.

Also, if your husband is looking for additional resources or Bible study guides -or just someone to talk to, my husband would behappy to listen. If your hubby is interested, you can PM me for our phone number.

I agree! While I've never seen the website before I listen to the doctor each and every Saturday on his radio show. I'm in Missouri and listed to 97.1. He comes on around 9am, I believe.

I had a very, very nice Christmas this year and love everything that I got. I was worried about the holidays and being with my family for an extended period of time, but was pleasantly surprised with how well everything went.

My favorite gift probably has to be the mini shopping spree my dad gave me at the pet store. My buns and piggies loaded up on food, treats, bedding, and toys. I don't know who's more excited - me or the furries [probably me]! Oh, wait! I also really loved the two boxes of NIC grids and zip ties that my father bought me. I can't wait to get construction under way!

My least favorite gift, well, hmm... I really don't think there is a gift that I could say I didn't like or didn't need. I'm grateful for everything I got this year - big or small.

Some of the other gifts I got were:

• a mini digital camera and carrying case
• a portable CD player [my old one broke and I still love 'em]
• a couple CD's
• a sea-foam-green robe [it's amazingly soft and comfy]
• slippers [fuzzy pink with a black and white polka dot ribbon threaded through]
• fuzzy socks
• a couple sweaters, shirts, and cardigans
• a lotion and shower gel set [cucumber melon - yum]
• a comfy throw for my bed
• earrings
• doggy calendar
• a couple journals
• art supplies
• a couple candles in yummy scents
• jammies
• a new collar for my pup
• a new sweater for my pup
• $50.00 gift card
• a doggy [she's not only mine and she comes home tomorrow - yay]
• and everything else aforementioned above

So, yeah, I definitely made out quite well this year. And I'm sure there are a couple little things that I forgot to mention. Now...on to my birthday...only 2 days away!

<3 Lexi

Wow, what a wonderful thing for your mom to do! Love that idea for a gift...that's something you'll probably treasure for the rest of your life.
