So what did you get? Any good stories this year? My Christmas eve was complete bullcrap, but the highlight was that I got AJ's solo album!! We're going over to my cousin's here in a little while... so I might post again.

Umm... stethoscope, book on doctors' anecdotes, slippers, cute shoes from Pull & Bear, and a most ridiculously enormous pile of chocolate My Christmas eve was actually better than my Christmas, most of my family on my dad's side came (the family that lives in Barcelona) and we had dinner and gave gifts to the little ones. I have two tiny cousins (2 & 9 months old) who I hadn't met before, and they were adorable! For Christmas, we got up late, opened presents, had breakfast (at like 1 pm! hash brown potatoes, scrambled eggs, mimosas! even my little sister ) and then just hung around. The problem is that everyone was so tired that we're in bad moods. And why is it always my turn to take the trash in December?? I had to take like 16 bags full this morning! It was ridiculous! Anyway, all in all it was pretty good. Now it's 7:15 pm and we're about to have lunch/dinner. Merry Christmas everybody!

My mom paid for my photography class for christmas I also got a e-book reader, and i bought myself a desktop computer online because my laptop is slooow and it's hard to edit pictures with it.. Went to church and had dinner with my best friends family last night, spent this morning at the in-laws (slightly depressing because my mother in law has cancer and kept saying this was her last christmas, which is *hopefully* not true) and then went to my mom's this afternoon for second christmas dinner. And now i'm relaxing, enjoying this wonderful evening that i consider a holiday because it's the longest possible time before another christmas lol Yes i'm a grinch, sue me.

Woesr. Christmas. Ever. My parents have been fighting for the last 2 hours. Sorry to hear that. My parents always bicker on Christmas too, but usually it's just cause my mom is stressed out with all the prep, and my dad just gets in the way LOL. They settle down later in the day.

I had a nice Christmas! We did Christmas Eve dinner at my grandparents' house last night, then had the whole family over at my parents' house today for presents, brunch, and munchies.
My best present was a HP mini netbook, which I was totally not expecting. I have been missing my laptop, but swore I'd never buy another one since my last one crashed and died after only a couple of years. The netbook is a great compromise cause it's like a mini laptop, but much cheaper. I'm excited, cause now I can go write (or read... or aimlessly surf the net) in bed like I used to, instead of having to sit at my desk all the time. It will hopefully make me more productive!
I also got some clothes, pjs and slippers, DVDs, stuff for my kitchen, and some money/gift cards. I got basically everything I was hoping for and some nice surprises as well!

Awesome! I love mine so far. Haven't been able to get online with it yet though because I don't have an external CD drive to use to install the wireless router I got with it to set up wireless.

Merry Christmas everyone! (Late as usual lol)
Mine was pretty low-key this year. We mostly celebrated with my niece and nephew. They're four and seventeen months. Everything's so new and exciting at that age.
All and all it was pretty good. I got a few things and spent time with the family. Everyone's presents sound great. Julie, I'm jealous, I think the Netbooks look fun. I'm always complaining that my laptop is too big and bulky.
Anyway, in case I don't check back in beforehand happy 2011 everyone, love you guys.

Leave it to me to create a thread and then completely ignore it. I got new ear buds for my iPod and a blutooth for the car.
I'm with you though, Estrella. Worst. Christmas. Ever. I was completely stabbed in the back by a friend on Christmas, and I haven't cried this much since my grandma passed away last year.
Glad that everyone seems to have had good holidays though.

Sounds like some Christmases weren't so spectacular :/ My family has a late start as normal. We waited for everyone to get here and actually started christmas around 3. I got the HP ultimate editions 3 & 4, a HP Notebook/Sketchbook(a wanted "Undesirable Number one" of Harry on the front ), a sweater, shirt , and socks. <---yeah, I actually really love socks. I didn't ask for anything, so I'm happy. Plus the kids are the most important to spoil with presents, so I was happy they got awesome presents! Overall it was pretty nice. A family friend made an appearance, which was great. Plus there were plenty of mashed potatoes(mmm).

Hey Amy, how'd everything go in the end with your friend? Same situation still? My Christmas has belatedly improved a little since I got a stethoscope in the mail boy I am enjoying listening to people's heartbeats!
