Hey guys i thought it would be good to set up a topic about everyones Christmas this year. (:
I love Chirstmas, each day is so exciting.
In this topic you can share ideas for presents for friends and family, what things you think you might be getting off old Santa whee or just what chocolate shaped figure you had in your advent calander today. xD Christmas 2010.

well I'm Jewish... so yeah... sweatdrop xd Channukkah (gah, I'll NEVER spell this correctly! it would be so much easier if I just wrote it in Hebrew, at least there's only one spelling in that language,) was pretty fun, but my gifts were mostly practical. I did get a nice Nancy Drew game though! I sent my wish list to my cousins last week, and it included a T-shirt with the phrase "It's locked" on it! I got my mom a Sudoku puzzle book, my dad a Dangerous Book for Boys, and my sister a Taylor Swift CD. for my friends, I'm getting the book Blood and Chocolate for one, a Slytherin scarf for another, and a Percy Jackson audiobook for another.

We don't have chocolate advent calenders. we use a reusable one, with a giant fabric tapestry of a christmas tree that has beads on it, and each day has a pocket with hand-made fabric figures that you hang of the beads for each day. There's like, a present, some bells, a cuckoo clock, a snowman, a cottage, a burrow, a little pine tree, and some other cute stuff.

well, the chocolate in my advent calender tastes terrible, and the shapes are unrecognizable, but i got a lovely squirrel on the first day, so that made me happy!

I'm not sure I really understand what you're asking. o_O Channukkah isn't connected to Christmas at all, and the present-giving is just to keep younger kids interested in Judaism (since their Christian friends might be talking about all the presents they recieved.) I'll be giving presents to my friends during school or elsewhere. does that answer your question?

Asked for: Nothing
Mom and dad got me anyway: Kinnect (Now I need to go get games for it XD)
Brother & sis: 20$ cash, and 25$ to hot topic
My Love: We're exchanging gifts when we're back together at school, he's on a cruise with his family so I can't talk to him at all. However, on Christmas he sent me an international text from Mexico "To let you know I love you and am thinking about you <3 oh and merry Christmas smile ".
That was all I really wanted for Christmas, and the fact that he sent it because he wanted to, not because it was Christmas, made it a lot more special. He's also making me a ring in his metals class. ^^ I couldn't ask for anything when I've got someone as great as him.
Gave:
Mom: Crystal bear that says 'i love you' in the heart it's holding, with a mirror plate that says "I love you mom", along with an eeyore mug. My dad had me get her an eeyore t-shirt, eeyore nightgown and a set of heart earrings with her birthstone in tem.
Dad: Prank lotto tickets (because I couldn't find those tablets you put in peoples cigs to make them explode, which he loves), a shirt of popeye that says "These guns are loaded" and another shirt saying "I'm just a big fricken ray of sun shine aren't I?"
My Love: A fountain, cause he loves the sound of rain/running water. A ton of different dark chocolates. The Dexter Kill Shirt from ThinkGeek.com, Queen of Babylon tea from Teavanna, and I'm working on getting him a set of EarForce ones for his xbox360.
My other mother( close friends mom): 20$ for Barnes and Noble.
^Her son: New nail polish
Myself: Two shirts from ThinkGeek.com (I l<3 my Geek & You Never Forget your First Doctor), and a ton of Frosty Nerds because they only sell this time of year.
Augustine: I'm printing a couple copies of nice pictures with their names in pretty font for them to sell to their fans. (augustinerocks.com)
If I didn't have a roomate this year, I'd be so broke for the rest of the quarter lol, but I've got two checks of 450.00 to look forward to so I'll be all when I get back to school.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and have a fantastic new years.
