What did Santa leave under the tree for you?
In addition to the usual, shirt, tie, cologne, frog Christmas ornament, etc., I got a turntable that allows me to convert my vinyl and my tapes, including my reel to reel tapes to computer files and then to CDs. I also got remote speakers for my audio system.

Sounds fun :)...I got two front teeth :D, a hair clipper ensemble, a shaver ( no, I'm not particularly hairy :D), two pairs of very comfortable flannel lounging pants, and $75 cold cash...oh, and some Ferrero Rocher hazelnut candies.
Merry Christmas, Frogger. :)

A laptop, gift cards, roses and lingerie. When men give lingerie as a gift is it a gift for their girlfriends or is it really a gift for them? :rolleyes:

Lemme see......
several gift cards, two from Coldwater Creek so I can buy me some new clothes before our cruise in Feb and two from WalMart (whatever) and one for some new makeup...gonna go spend that one today :D
Then I got some other stuff like fuzzy slippers (that I'll never wear), candy (which I gave away), a REALLY PRETTY PURPLE blouse (keeping that one), and a tray...asked for a "laptop tray" and got this "thing" that sets up like a tv tray on a stand (NOT what I needed or wanted, so that will be re-gifted next year ;) )
But the best part of Christmas was being able to spend it with my mom, sister and the babies. Watching them at Christmas open gifts is the best part of it all. Missing the ones that aren't with us any longer is the worst part :(
Hope everyone had a great day and have many more to come for the new year

Mom and dad bought me a new chicken coop this year. :thumbs:
AND, it was a white Christmas. :) Started snowing around noon yesterday, and hasn't really let up since. It's beautiful and I'm hunkered down with enough supplies to not have to go anywhere for a few days, but today is trash day and I can't get the truck out to the main road because there's a giant tree blocking my gravel road.
Neighbor kids with a chainsaw will be over soon to clear things out. :)

I live in a Jewish house. :thumbs: Anyways, both spellings are technically correct, since they're just the phonetic equivalents of the Hebrew word.
