Oh Moonie, you absolutely must share! Scans please! :cool:

A Jeopardy calendar for my desk, some nice knitted scarves, gift cards, a gorgeous Coffee Table book California Romantica (spanish revival 1920's homes in LA - gorgeous), a shoe buckle from one of Valentino's costumes from Monsieur Beaucaire* and more tonight when my roomie and I exchange out gifts. Oh, and a bag of ricola cough drops, much needed.

As soon as it is delivered, my gift to me, a brand new queen sized bed and hopefully a good night of sleep from now on! Bah Humbug to the futon that has served me well, but not lately.


* * although it comes with COA, I doubt the veracity of the claim. But will never tell that to the friend who got it for me. I appreciate the thought, it was beyond generous and thoughtful.

A World of Warcraft desk calendar, Serenity soundtrack, Firefly soundtrack (I guess my wife isn't a Purple Belly after all ;) ), Heroes Volume One hardcover graphic novel, Disney edition of Scene It?, a book my dad wrote containing some of his personal history, handmade ornaments from my daughter, clothes, money, candy.

I got a Ryobi 18 volt power tool kit. Grunt, snort... power tools.

Susan got a new sewing/embroidery machine. She had to purchase it herself (she gets a big discount from work, and well, I would just screw it up). A sewing machine that hooks up to a computer. Who boy.

Wasn't DL still under construction when you were 5? :evil:

Ooooohhh Ahhhhhh. Sewing Machine!

From Bill:
A book on art deco interiors
Atomic Ranch coffee table book
Cologne
Scented candles
Chocolate
A silicon baking set
Gift certificates for a new digital camera and a new computer chair (so I can pick out the ones I want)

From my mom: $100 cash

From my brother and his wife: A photo album book of pictures from my nephew’s wedding

From various other relatives: Lots of gift cards for Borders and Barnes & Noble (Do they know me, or what?)


ETA: I just realized! No odd or inappropriate gifts from my relatives this year! It’s a Christmas miracle! :snap:

It's the miracle of Xmas Gift Cards!

BTW, LOVED your xmas card, it was awesome and gorgeous!

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world. :p

Thank you, but it was all Bill's work.

Dats okay, you can tell him I thought so!

I will!
