Not a damn thang. My brother doesn't give gifts anymore, and Mom & Dad are gone. But I give him gifts. I bought him one of those tinted car sun visors to filter the eastern or western sun glare; a pair of night driving clip on visors for his eyeglasses and a "Hurrycane." Yeah, we two old ass crippled mofoes; he's 65 and I'm 62. I bought myself the same 3 items, too.

Same here. Satan Claus hasn't come to see me in years because I'm too damn bad all year round.

No, but we don't do gifts anymore either because we're already broke as hell and by the time you spend about $20 on several people, you're really out of some money and in the hole. Besides, anything for around $20 that we really wanted, we would have already bought it for ourselves anyway.

• 3 pairs of slippers (which i like because my feet are always cold on this darn tile floor we have in our house.
• a snoopy that plays music from the charlie brown x-mas movie (from my son )
• a new winter coat
• a sweater
• 2 blouses
• a set of lock n' lock bowls
• new york goodies (from my secret santa)
• $25 starbuck's gift card
• $25 chili's gift card
• 2 t-shirts
• bruno mars "unorthodox jukebox" (deluxe edition cd from target) (from my husband and son ) it's all i really wanted this year for x-mas, and i'm loving it!
• beads for making jewelry
• but the best gift of all has been spending family time with my husband & son! they are two awesome people that bring me more joy and love than anything material in this world ever could.

That's awesome!

Books:

Building Stories by Chris Ware (wanted this soooo bad!)

Six Novels In Woodcuts by Lynd Ward

Star Trek Federation: The First 150 Years (sooooo incredibly geeky! )

Kitchen:

New immersion blender, food processor (the one that adjusts the blade height from the outside), good knife set, and set of three frying/saute pans, all things I badly needed. A bunch of whole spices, too.

Other:

New hair clippers with color coded guards! I'll never spend five minutes loooking for the 1/2 inch guard again!

Black t-shirts (every Christmas ), black hoodie, random other stocking stuffers and small stuff.

Congratulations!

Well, some of my childhood friends took pity on me and gave me some nice gifts. I have dinner at her open house every Christmas Eve and she gave me a scent diffuser, the kind with the reeds that stick in a bottle of fragrance. Her sister gave me a mini bottle of Champagne, a box of shortbread cookies, a purse mirror and purse tissues. I was pleasantly surprised and grateful.

I got money and a target giftcard and bought almost nothing but groceries, target has great prices on their fresh grocery. I spent Xmas day napping with my purring cat and it was pretty nice.

I wouldn't have got nothing if not for my crazy uncle from Jersey.

Teaspoons

Towels

A scarf

A wooly hat

Gloves

An 80s quiz game

Wine Glasses

A cook timer

A LED flashlight

Spices

No nonsense.

I am glad for you.

You had me for secret Santa 2 years ago and you were VERY generous. Thanks again for all those C.D.s.

Oh yeah, and I bought myself a bottle of Hugo Boss fragrance, as a really nice girl was offering samples at a department store (it sure made it smell even better=. I thought I'd give it to someone else, but I ended up keeping it.

a new mixing console for my studio

I got The Walking Dead zombie killing video game.

The Big Bang Truth or Fiction (read trivial pursuit) game.

Clothes & shoes

Socks and a candle from my baby sister (new family joke)

My baby brother is taking me to dinner.

Christmas coffee cups from my older sister. I have never liked coffee. She always sends cups. I'll have hot tea on occassion, but will not need cups again ever in my life.

A great Prince picture from my brother & sister's mom. Totally out of the blue and a really great surprise. She even sent money for me to frame it.

Sounds great! It's great to have family support your Prince fandom. Usually all my family does is debate with me on whether or not Prince is bisexual or straight. Go figure.

Thanks! It's pretty cool. I'll post a pic of it once I've framed it.

I'm the only one in the family who reeeeeally likes Prince. My hubby likes him, but he has .org issues...whatevs...

My stepmom always thought he was meh, until she saw the RnRHOF induction/While My Guitar Gently Weeps appearance and now she likes him, not like me but she sees why I like him like I do.

I bought myself a pair of Converse...does that count for something?

YOU, need to quit. Take care of yourself now, cuz whatever is going around is ruff.

I had mighty fine Christmas, we just chilled. It was a very small affair this year just my family and mom. We had all the food and trimmings but we didn't do the "formal" dinner thing.

What gigabyte size do you have? Don't worry we will be discusses what apps you like but checkout TunIn Radio, I don't bother with Pandora anymore. Don't talk about the ability to watch your cable subscription anywhere there's WiFi. GPS system uh, who are running from?

No. I've just spent the Christmas with the same people for the last 10 years, so we know pretty well what we need in our places (I'm notorious for losing all my teaspoons as I accidentally throw them in the trash after eating something, so by the end of the year I'm left with only one or two of them ).

I'm glad that people aren't spending as stupid amounts of money on Christmas gifts as during the worst years of the "economic growth" about 5-10 years ago. I don't want any fancy stuff that I'm not going to use.
