HO HO HO!


A frequent question this time of year seems to be "what did you get for Christmas?" Invariably, because I am part of a couple, the follow-up question is "what did Buddy get?" I can say one or the other, but I also think it is fair to talk about what we got together. Knowing Buddy he would get mad if I claimed it all *g*. I figure I'll just post something on here to get it out of the way; or, if nothing else, to give myself something to copy and paste when I'm answering in e-mails and online. I know, I'm blatant cheater, but that is OK.

Together
1000 thread-count king size, ultra deep pocket, mint green sheets (yummy).
$655 cash.
Assorted Harry & David Chocolates and goodies.
The chance to see our families and surprise the daylights out of them on Christmas.

Me
$50 Visa Check Card (I used it on three books at the giant Borders on Kirby & W. Alabama).
A super cool Alabaster paper weight for my office.
A Burberry picture frame (silver, with a lavender suede trim).
Four Dark Walnut (espresso colored) picture frames from Bed, Bath and BEYOND *said with dramatic echo*
An XM Satellite Radio.
Two Burberry shirts (one polo with the check pattern on the inside of the collar, one pink with the check pattern in white).
A recording of the 9 Beethoven symphonies.
A Starbucks tumbler I can put my own pictures in (and no, they won't be of me).
A Martha Stewart Cleaning Bible (700+ pages of how to clean ANYTHING).
Assorted candies, chocolates and little gifts from my mother's gift bag (it would need it's own list, but it's one of the best parts of Christmas for me).
A Movado pen.

Buddy
Assorted candies, chocolates and little gifts from my mother's gift bag (it would need it's own list, but it's one of the best parts of Christmas for him too).
A Starbucks tumbler I can put my own pictures in (knowing him it won't have pictures of me but pictures of the dogs).
A special edition, Product Red 8GB iPod.
A Movado case for his iPod.
A MacBook (white).
A neoprene inner case for his MacBook.
A super cool outer case for his MacBook.
A red case for his red iPod.
An unnecessary copy of iLife software (he installed it before I read that the MacBook came with it).

Buddy has been like a little kid all week with his MacBook. He's soooooo proud of it. :) Anyway, I'm sure I forgot some things. That has nothing to do with whether or not Buddy or I appreciated them so much as the fact that it's not even 07:30 and my coffee hasn't quite kicked in yet.
