NOTHING! And that's exactly what I wanted.

Christmas has become too commercialized and the real meaning behind it has been obscured. I wanted to be together with my friends and family, have lots of fabulous food, a few bottles of wine, and just enjoy this time of year with those people.

I got a fair bit of cash and some clothes.

Really don't know what I'm gonna buy with it yet though. I'll probably put it towards the Apple 30" Cinema Display fund though...

Nice, For Christmas I got a vacation to Florida. Personally, I'd rather be back home in Northern Michigan where we have 4 feet of snow. It just doesnt really seem like winter walking on the beach then hopping into the pool. Its nice weather and quite enjoyable but.. Im just a little bit more used to COLD COLD weather.

I'm with you on this. Nice to know though that people receive gifts they really appreciate, especially children. I spent time with two elderly friends whose grandchildren were elsewhere. We shared a lot of laughs about Christmases past. Oh, and the NZ Chardonnay that someone gave me was delicimo!

Gramma broke open her safe and gave me an uncirculated $100 bill (series 1990), mom cut me a check for $200, and my Aunt gave me a $50 cash card from Chase bank, all of which is going toward my N95, which I will place the order for tomorrow! YAY!
