I got a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 special hammerless revolver...and a Tiffany necklace! Such a difference between the two!

It's still happening because the baby needed a nap but I got sharpies and windshield wiper blades which were really needed. I also got some lego stuff but i picked those out. It's always nice to get surprised a little, dh isn't a big gifter but tries to get me a little something to make me smile My favorite was when my 3 year old opened a Darth Vader lego headlamp and proclaimed star wars! And even wore it around the house, he usually doesn't like to wear stuff on his head.

I was pretty surprised with dh and the boys this year, I wasn't expecting anything b/c we just made a large purchase and I talked him into buying me a new keurig last week so I could use it for our christmas caroling party. DH tracked down the creche for my willow tree nativity, my youngest son got the new Gwen Stefani palette from Urban Decay (it's gorgeous), Josh got new pair of sanuks for summer (or now it's so warm out!) and Jake chose the shepherd for the nativity. My absolute favorite is a new nativity made of driftwood, chosen because I love the beach and it reminded them of my grandad. So sweet.

My mum bought OH and I a 'falconry experience' when we get to go fly owls and falcons. So cool, I've never had an 'experience' gift before.
I got some handknitted socks, some new crochet hooks, a daylight lamp, some miniature models to paint, a bag....oh, I've been a lucky girl this year!

Well, not so much Santa, but our family got a Honda Odyssey for Christmas! We've been watching and waiting and saving for it... and it came home Monday!! That's really *my* gift. Now we as a whole family can bring home the baby from the hospital whenever he comes! But my littles picked out a new robe for me, and a new Wonder Woman cup- all by themselves. Just that they selected them makes my momma heart happy!

Oh I almost forgot my favorite gift. DD is taking me on an experience to a cafe for lunch and then to grounds for sculpture. We can spend the whole day together!

My DH got me an Apple Watch, but I knew it was coming so no surprise. DH & DS also got me Bose headphones which was a really nice surprise. My MIL splurged and got me a North Face workout jacket. Mother Nature gave us a surprise White Christmas with 7" of snow on Christmas Eve. Attachments:

A fabulous coffee table book on the Civil War. Gardening gloves and pruners, couple of other books, a beautiful necklace from my parents, and a bunch of Burt's Bees stuff.

Oh yeah, and i put a pair of tech gloves in everyone's stocking. Thank you for helping me with my verbiage. They were a cinch to find once I was in the know.

Not a lot of difference in sixteen years.

The most fun / goofy gifts I gave were the Star Wars pillows to my boys. They loved them! Following it up with a Darth Vadar apron as my white elephant gift at our family party tonight!

I got spoiled! Got the Secret Garden and Enchanted Forest coloring books. I'm dorky, but I'm enjoying them so much. 2 charms for my Pandora bracelet, a new HP phone case--my last one was on its last legs, and a couple of HP tees. I think my husband understands my love of all things HP! I also got some new towels (which I requested!)--our old ones are over 15 years old and definitely showing their age! I also got a bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled!

I got a Fossil Q watch-part watch part Fitbit. Looks really nice. I also got the first and second volume of Outlander. I've seen them multiple times but there's deleted scenes and behind the scenes interviews. Wish everyone would clear out so I could watch in peace.

My wardrobe is in need of updating, so DD & DH gifted me with new jeans, several tops & sweaters and a pair of cute heels. My big gift from them was a navy Tory Burch tote bag. I'm in love with it! My other favorite gift is a gorgeous pendant necklace DD commissioned for me as a thank you for all the dog sitting I do for her. Her friend (who I've known since they were kids) designs & sells on Etsy. The necklace is made of sapphire beads with a sapphire & diamond pave pendant & gold tassel. It is so perfectly me and I will be wearing it frequently.

DH got me a purse I've had my eye on but wouldn't spend the money on for myself. DD painted us a picture that I will hang in my scrap room. I got other assorted smaller stuff, but those were the biggest surprises.

Glad to read that everyone got some lovely and thoughtful gifts! I received so many wonderful things for Christmas this year. We don't spend a lot throughout the year and tend to be a bit more extravagant at Christmas. I got two studio lights, two muslin backdrops, and two vinyl backdrops for my photography, along with a couple of photography books. In keeping with the theme, I got a cute pair of Betsey Johnson camera earrings as well. It was a year for DVDs for me. Dh gave me the complete series of MacMillan and Wife, the complete series of Bewitched, the complete series of original Planet of the Apes movies, Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera and The King and I. I also received an early Christmas present from dh this past weekend. Meet Pippa, a 9 week old tri-colour tortoiseshell kitten!

Santa brought me a moon filter for our telescope. I'm so excited! Now if the clouds would just clear before moon rise so we can use it tonight...this is the first full moon on Christmas Day since 1977.

It was awesome. Mom to 2 kids with autism, medical needs, and special needs. No meltdowns, no tantrums, no ocd, no anxiety!
Santa brought me a really nice waffle iron AND he surprised me with a Scarlet fiestaware gravy boat!!
