i must say, though they feel a little "uppity", they came in quite handy.
I kept forgetting which charm was mine and started drinking out of Neil's mom's wine glass. We kinda laughed and I said, "Well, these wine charms aren't working very well are they?"
My favorite Christmas gift was the one I bought for ME! I spared no expense!
A brand new DVD player with a new stack of movies:
Shawshank Redemption The Edge Gladiator Chopper The Insider The Last Temptation of Christ Life is Beautiful Fight Club
And my second favorite was the new Tommy cologne that my sister Roo bought me, along with the beer glasses. She bought me so many I could invite everybody on this thread over for brewskies and still have some left over.
I know you asked about "this year's" gifts, but I have to share a story with you. I am 32 years old. When I was about 7 or 8, all I wanted for christmas was the NFL Electric Football Game. You know, the one that sounds like an electric razor on crack and the players vibrate up and down the field! I woke up about 6:00 AM christmas day, ran downstairs and saw a gift wrapped up about the same size as the Football game. I was so excited. I ripped off the wrapping and it turned out to be one of those hockey games where you swat around the puck using knobs. I was soooooooo disappointed! :o( I hated hockey! I still never received a valid explanation of why my parents bought me that dumb (IMO) hockey game! I still yearn for the Electric Football game!
I just got one of my favorites (it's hard to choose just one) today. My co-worker/friend made me a hand beaded ornament. It is so beautiful! It certainly wins the prize for most beautiful gift, and I appreciate the work that went into it.
