I also got soft-leather bound editons of "My Utmost" and "Every Step for Every Man"...from GMIL

and a $30 dollar gift cert to Fry's electronics from my MIL/FIL....

They also bought wifey and I an indoor/portable evaporative cooler as it sometimes gets into the upper 80's here in the mountains in the summertime...


I broke the (we won't buy for each other) rules and bought wifey a HUGE crockpot from Sam's Clubs...my oldest picked out a whistilin' tea kettle and my middle picked out a Willow Tree statue for her.

Our Christmas Dinner with her folks could have feed 20 people...and there were only 6 of us....If there is anything I HATE worse than bad politics, it's WASTED food...

The kids made out like bandits...I'm going have to file for my tax-refund earler than April just to pay for it all... : (

I couldn't belive the MOUND of toys they had...wifey went WAY OVER BOARD and the 1st moment I have alone with her...she's gonna get a verbal thrashing....

Is this perfume A2J compliant? I remember you saying that he was allergic, thus the reason you don't wear it.

Been lurking among the ladies, have you? :bounce:


I got my Precious Moments things....still kinda ticked that he did this.... :box:

Nothing from my parents. Although we did draw names and I got a set of JOY candles.

Going to in-laws on Jan 1st since sil and her hubby are flying down after Christmas. In-laws like to spoil us rotten... :rollseyes:

I hope so since he gave it to me!

This is what DH and I bought today with some $$ we got for Christmas plus as our "together" gift....

46" Toshiba HD DLP.... :drool:

Berry Nice!

Nice AM...

We have a 42" Mitsubishi...but's it's about 2 years old...no DLP. <heavy sigh>

Wow, you must have gotten a small fortune for Christmas! A2J and I would just be happy with a TV that doesn't black out every so often :lol: Enjoy your new "toy"!

We are blessed that my parents can be generous at Christmas...plus, the store had 18 months to pay it off with no interest! By putting in the $$ we had already budgeted for originally, we were able to "rationalize" buying it!! :lol:

How blessed everyone was this Christmas!

My DH broke the no gift rule and bought me a Palm Z22. My Palm broke earlier in the year and I really missed it. This one is SO cool. It's really all I need and has so much more than my last one.

I also got:

• A Boyd's Gorilla (a joke from my mom)
• Down comforter
• A set of frying pans
• oven mitts
• a picture frame
• a pair of angel statues
• moccasin slippers
• and a digital camera/printer dock with the cash we got for Christmas

:(



:cheeky:




:swoosh:

Right? And oven mitts?!

OK, in all fairness...Frying pans were from my mother. Had my DH given them to me he would have gotten a "Lena". The oven mitts, were from a grab bag.

I was just so stoked about the camera and the Palm that I didn't mind the not so fun stuff.

Apparently, hubby and the BIL's were supposed to get money from my dad. He retired earlier this year and has a very healthy pension from his company. So far, we haven't seen the green stuff yet. :dunno:

I know how you feel.

My Toshiba Pocket PC died on me a few weeks ago, and now I feel so lost. :nono:

Oh Red, that stinks. What will that cost to replace? Definately more than mine I'm sure.

I got a Palm Tungsten E a few weeks ago and can't make it work :doh:
