Gift cards, some great books, neat kitchen stuff, a funny t shirt, truffle-infused cooking oil, and some money.
Jake gave me Professor Layton (I've neeever gotten around to playing it!) and some really cute polka dotted pajama pants. I had to get rid of all my old ones because they were from when I was wayyy bigger.
My sister gave me something very special. She saw that my music binder was really crappy, so she printed out all this new sheet music for me and put it in a very pretty binder. Her artist friend designed its cover. I'll love it forever!

I gave some good gifts this year too--I got my brother some really warm gloves and a fleece neck cuff. He's always cold since he lost weight, and his house has no heat. I got my sister a little multi-use tool that she's been wanting--pliers/screwdriver/ruler/wire cutter. She loved it. Got my Dad some tea, and I got my mom some storage containers she'd been wanting. I got Jake Y The Last Man and a hard back copy of The Divine Comedy... along with the promise to devote 2 hours to trying out any video game he wants to me try. He has a hard time getting me to do that.
I put together a little care package for a friend who loves cooking, salty snacks, and lemon candy: A jar of garlic-stuffed olives, some capers, a huuuge box of Lemon Heads, and an appetizer cookbook... oh, and some funky nail polish. She loves trying out new colors. ^_^ Good Christmas.
