I generally hate the term "X-mas" -- but, it works in reference to the materialistic side of the holiday season...
So -- to answer the "what did you get for Christmas" question...
1) My Anniversary-birthday-Christmas present was huge this year... a PowerBook G4. love it, a lot... it came in October, just in time for debate travel and it has an amazing battery. It is also small and light. yea. Hubby got one last week as well... now we are a two-Mac family, who'd have thunk it.
2) Free stuff: the ipod Bose docking station / speakers from American Express for the dissertation chamber and the tiny DVD player hubby bought with his poker winnings.
3) Actual gifts -- some money (always nice, always fits.. not sure where to spend it, although some was spent at Blue Fin bay on the way home from Mom's)... A book, the biography of Queen Noor -- excellent and an interesting perspective on the troubles in the Middle East. A gift card from the body shop (I think...) -- someplace in the mall that sells bath stuff -- warm sox, a turtle neck sweater and a bread machine --- warm and yummy.....
4) hubby on a cleaning binge -- wonderful... it is also nice that I got him battery operated cleaning tools for Christmas and he didn't take it the wrong way...
and -- getting to watch "A Christmas Story" -- priceless...
