I got lots of great gifts, but my favorite is a scrapbook Tori made for me.:)

The worst thing I got was the flu. Yup, first I try to cut my finger off, then I get the flu. Now it's turned into a headcold. Fun times. I haven't even had coffee for two days! That's got to be a record with me.

Sounds like a passive-aggressive way of telling you to come get your damned stuff!

I found a Wii for my boss for his son last Thursday. I found it via eBay. He had to pay a premium: $435.00. Did the same thing for him last year: found an XBox 360 for about $600.00

That isn't too bad for the XBox, if it was the, duh, version that goes on line. Whatever that is called. But that is a lot for the Wii!!! I luckily found mine at cost {+employee discount} at Target.

Just remember people, games on sale right now...I need to find out how long they price fix.

Anywho, that was mighty nice of you to do that for your boss. Hubsters boss said he was looking for one and we chuckled.

{but I didn't laugh at my friend who took a second job to help make Christmas better for her family as well as get the discount on presents....or stayed outside of the store all night to be #17 when they only had 15...}

Best gift? That's tough! I got my lovely wedding jewelry, which was probably the nicest "thing" I got-- but both of my siblings had excellent not-really-thing-y gifts.

My sister scanned in my grandmother's cookbook, complete with hi-res images of the well-loved food-spattered pages. Bits of biscuit dough made by my grandmother herself. It was really sweet.

My brother recently connected with my grandfather's sister. Long story short, my grandparents wouldn't let any of their children/grandchildren touch or see any of the family history, geneology, etc. But my grandfather's sister is much nicer. She allowed him to scan in my great-grandfather's memoir manuscript, the family tree, and some other things. From this we discovered an old family secret-- on my father's side, we're actually part Irish! And that both sides of my grandfather's ancestors came over on the Mayflower, not just Governor Bradford (about whom we knew.) My brother also bought us a Mayflower nonfic book with stories and pictures of artifacts owned by our now-traceable ancestors.

I didn't get a single bad gift! But Tom and I managed to give each other the same gift at the same time. But, unlike Alex, we enjoy the shopping. So exchanging will be fun.
