I got an umbrella (a nice one :) ) and then I got the soundtrack of Love Actually!! :yay: You may not understand...I love movie soundtracks, getting the Love Actually soundtrack brought tears to my eyes. :yes: It contains all the lovely songs I love from the movie and also the song I always wanted..."Christmas Is all Around" by Billy Mack. :yay: :wub:

My neighbor, knowing what kind of a PotC fan I am, bought me a PotC DVD game! My son and I played it last night on Christmas Eve (The rest of them just missed out :razz: ). It uses a cloth treasure map for a board and has these really cool ship tokens. They're metal and solid, kind of like Monopoly tokens, but a little bigger. They even have a black one (of course, I chose that one).

Oh yeah, and my husband got me a diamond necklace.

I got clothes mostly. A really nice jacket from L.L. Bean and a pair of Dickies. (There weren't any Carhartt left in my size, apparently.) Also got a nifty pair of Bean's moccasion-like shoes.

And money. There's a five dollar bill stuck in the band of my cowboy hat now. I like when folks give me money.

Most of my presents I got on the Solstice, since that is what I observe, but I got some nice gifts today as well. I don't break them up by when I received them though.

My sister kindly helped my complete my Coupling collection (for owning, saw it all already) by getting me series 3, I'm sure the reason I got it had nothing to do with her wanting to see it herself. ;) I got a digital camera, help me save all those precious college memories, A D&D starter kit (mostly because I'm still on the old version of the books, not the "new" 3.5, and plus...it had the die I was missing), Best Buy gift certificate, Taget giftcard, some pants (American definition...), candy, and some money to use for food and fun spending for my summer trip.

I got sweets, chocolate which I won't eat, a scarf, money and a Jack Sparrow figure which I did buy for my niece, forgot about so it wasn't wrapped with everything else and then found out she didn't even want one, so I gave her it to give to me, and now it's on my TV tipping his rum in a "this one's for my homies" way for all the Rumrunners, I got my niece a Cyberman and a Dalek with some sweets too so it's ok I have it. :wild1:

Lucky you. (Then again, maybe not.)

We don't give gifts at Christmas here, as a rule... Many people do now, but that's all Americanisation at work. We usually give gifts on the 5th of December, which is the eve of St. Nicholas' day. (Yes, that guy again.) My family didn't do that this year, due to being busy with getting my grandmother ready to move and other stuff, so it was decided we should give gifts at Christmas instead. I was going to refuse to do so and thus sabotage the whole thing, since if we don't even give gifts at our own holiday, I fail to see why we should celebrate Christmas the American way - but then I found out that I was only expected to receive gifts, not buy any, which was fine by me. No point ruining the fun for everyone else, considering the circumstances.

Note, we still didn't celebrate as extravagantly as the Americans or Brits...
I got: socks with sparkly bits on them (oooh!), a coupon for the cinema (always useful), the first season of "21 Jump Street" on DVD (OMG, 80s fun! plus added nostalgia and JD value!), and... *drumroll*... a replica pirate pistol. Which basically rules.

I am suprised, I usually get all CDs for Holidays, I didn't even get one this year! XD

((It may look like I am spoiled rotten(I don't deny that...:P) but really, I usually get double that stuff because I have 4 siblings and they all have families of their own, one having five kids! That is considered huge, not counting my Aunts/Cousins/Grandmas! )

I don't get Christmas presents. I grew out of them when I was 19.

My friends, though, get me the same thing every year. A bottle of Jack Daniel's, two bottles of Tequila, and a bottle of white rum.

And it has come to my attention that I am an alcoholic.
