Well, lets see here.

$363 in cash and gift cards from my customers, plus 3 boxes mixed chocolates, banana bread, a bottle of mulled wine, and a can of Miller Genuine Draft (I really, REALLY tried to finish this).
$150 from my father
$50 from my grandmother
A case of Beers of the World, peel away calendar, a large bag of various home made cookies, and $30 from my mom
A cute ceramic penguin my niece made in school.
Coffee mugs from my sister.

Pretty good haul, I'd say.
 
I actually decided against the going out on Christmas Eve and stayed in. I bought LOTR Extended Edition Blu Ray and bounced between that, making food, being lazy on the internets and just glad not to be at work. LOTR in HD is breath taking. I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
Good deal.

And Baerenjaeger is delicious in coffee. Haven't any Sprite at the moment.
 
Had a good Christmas, first off we've gotten RAIN (real rain, about 6 inches just this week), otherwise:

-some jeans
-new shirts
-candy
-Big Bang Theory "Bazinga" shirt
-Dallas Stars equipment tote
- Rush's "Time Machine Tour" blu-ray
- over $500 cash
-21-speed bicycle

I'm very happy, especially with the bicycle, gonna put it to good use.

I bought myself some gifts just because I wanted an excuse to but since I bought them I don't think they quite qualify for this list.

oh and my cats got one of those prepackaged stockings from walmart full of cat toys. they are all good toys except for one weird thing. There is a sponge with a drawing of a happy cat getting bathed on it. So I have come to the conclusion that the people who made this product do not have cats and may have never encountered a cat in their lives.
 
A lovely cookbook, money and gift cards, handy kitchen things, lots of homemade baked goods...

Oh, and I got engaged. ^_^
Congrats! That's a gorgeous ring, btw.

Oh, and added to my big list from before (like I said, prezzies this year were almost a bit overwhelming) I also got:
A new digital camera (a nice one) that I can use to figure out what different types of lighting and effects, etc. do when taking photos and then apply that to my actual film camera.
A new set of dinner plates and salad plates
A new set of pasta bowls that match the plates
A bench scraper
A microplane grater/zester
A new pastry brush

The best part is that with the new dishes we can finally take all of our old, partial sets to Goodwill and clear a LOT of clutter out of the kitchen.
 
Oh, I know it. So much better for grating spices and zesting citrus than my current rasp graters. Now we just have to get some groceries in the house so I can actually use some of my new cooking tools and dinnerware. And so, you know, we don't starve.
 
My parents bought me a latte machine. I am enjoying my inaugural latte.

It's a shame, really, half the reason I left the house was to go to cafes for lattes... now I'll be a hermit.

Got a bottle of Laphroaig 18 year from my brother. Was a great gift but cost way more than what I got him which was kind of awkward.

Got some other stuff too but that scotch was the main thing of interest.
