WHAT DID YOU GET!!!!!!!!

Material items -

My mom apparently took my list to heart, because in the stash of Christmas items my dad and I went through was enough yarn for me to make a blanket, and three of the top research books from my list. My spouse did the same thing, getting me sewing items he knows I always lose, a large box of 'safety" eyes for toy making, and other things. My daughter - whose time is exeedingly limited due to her demanding program at college - managed to find time to make everyone a scarf and a hat. My son also gave me some yarn that I asked for to finish a project that I underestimated amount on.

Non Material-

We went to Wyoming for a change of venue, since we usually hold Christmas at my house, and I got to play with and cuddle my 18 month old grand niece, I got to see my nephew and his woman, whom we would not have seen if we'd been here, and I got a family who relearned laughter, joking and fun again in light of the week's tragedy. I got to see my dad smile and laugh, see him with one of his great grandchildren, and see him begin the process of moving on. It was the best present of all.

Thank you for sharing this LH. I wish I had your talents!

My snuggle bunny got me a 4G I Pad, he has connections. A curise to the great barrier reef, a walking tour of New Zealand, and a month in Tahiti, I’ll be sure and send pictures.

I got to watch my 3 grands (teen and pre-teen) celebrate their first Christmas. Spent the day with all 5 grands and their parents for the first time ever. Gramma is a happy camper.

Amazon says Kindle is its top-selling product

Still without giving any numbers, Amazon says the Kindle is its top-selling product not just this holiday season, but across all items the company offers.
