So has anyone received any great Christmas presents BEFORE the big day?

I have a couple of great ones!

1>  My big girls are coming on Wednesday!!! I am totally excited!!

2>  Bubble bath in a champagne bottle.  I *hope* they were telling me to relax!  I need a pool boy to share it with me.  And a jacuzzi of course.  Until then...calgon take me away!

3>  2 bangles from South India...now here is the beauty of these presents.  First they jangle...and I love that.  But better....my friend said I got these for you and I hope they fit....(because we American women are terribly "magnificent" as my friend Srini would "politically" tell it) and last time my friend Hina brought me bangles....well it was embarassing how they did not fit my wrist.....not even over my magnificent American hand.  BUT guess what.  These fit perfectly.  (i have small magnificent American hands and wrists....whew!)  Hurray on bangles and a small ego boost that jangle with happiness!

I also have this snarky Alaskan present that I cannot open yet....I keep staring at it hoping it will unveil itself to me. hee!

Cool. I personally haven't received anything specifically for Xmas. But a friend of mine had a dead battery to his laptop. So he got his early Xmas gift - a 12-cell laptop battery (normally 6-cell). So now he can use his laptop with a 6-hour charge on the new battery. That is pretty cool. Well, I think so. :-)
Me and hubby gifted each other with a new laptop a couple of weeks ago. It counts as our Christmas presents to each other. Of course, we both bought a few small things for each other, too.

The only Christmas gift I've received so far is the one from my work. (we get to pick an item out of a catalog and it gets shipped to us in November). My gift was an electric griddle. Nothing too fancy, but it has come in handy already.

My fiance got me a NICE digital camera so I can take decent pics for posting on gather! I just have to read the manual so I can figure how to do that....

I dont really get Christmas gifts (I pretty much tell everyone I have all I need so spend the money on someone else) but today a friend of mine from Hawaii sent me a calendar....I love it

I hope you'll receive at least one more before Christmas (it's only tiny)!

And yes, I received the best gift in the world, but it was before last Christmas. 10 days before last Christmas. My baby girl. She turned 1 on Friday (as a couple of you already know).

She is everything I never knew I wanted so badly! :)

Guess what Yash!! I got two very, very cool handmade heart ornaments in my mail......very, very precious indeed. I am having the snarkiest Christmas!! And yes...last year was the best present of all!!! For Yash and I had baby girls one day apart.

Feast of Weeb forever!!

Well, there is this lovely ring that I received from my husband, a nightgown from his grandmother (though it is not the sexy sort, thank goodness), a candle, and of course this present from the great north of which I must not speak because I want to open it so badly!

So far a fishing lure kit. Carving out my own lures. LOL

La you are a riot! Such a spirit. Give those kiddos a big squeeze everyday!

Enjoy!!

I got a great Christmas gift from hubby. He can never wait until the big day. I got a diamond circle necklace and matching earrings.

I'll think I'll keep him.

Bonnie C. Dec 21, 2006, 7:55am EST

La Bellota Dec 21, 2006, 11:11am EST

La Bellota Dec 21, 2006, 1:28pm EST

I hope Santa will bring me a pair of opal earrings. I am wearing one because the other fell apart. :(
La Bellota Dec 22, 2006, 11:43pm EST
Christmas is still 2 days...a wa iiiiiiiit a minute.

TRIXIE, TRIXIE, TRIXIE!

I was wondering why you were wanting Barbara Bush fashions for Christmas.....but I *think* I got it now.

Bad, Bad naughty Dana! Works better that way anyhoo.
La Bellota Dec 23, 2006, 12:54am EST
You just might.....STEVE!
Jody Says Dec 23, 2006, 11:18am EST
My nine month old just started crawling, and she came up to me and said "Da", she has been saying mama, and uhoh, but she said da! Made my day.
La Bellota Dec 23, 2006, 4:23pm EST
Schweet!! That is beautiful Jody! Truly!
La Bellota Dec 25, 2006, 10:31pm EST
such Christmas nastiness abound!! Santa's gonna give yall both coal necklaces !!!
Ron (in complete sheeple overload) W. Dec 25, 2006, 11:31pm EST
La B,
Uh, even if Santa IS a black guy, it will still be a pearl necklace, not coal..... or did I misunderstand? LOL
La Bellota Dec 25, 2006, 11:48pm EST
hmm. how to put this delicately.

At first, I was thinking we were talking about the garden variety pearl necklace....but alas it was not to be.

hmm. *thinks of how to tell Ron with decorum intact*

AH! I got it. Google ZZ top and pearl necklace. Perhaps that shall shed some light.
Ron (in complete sheeple overload) W. Dec 26, 2006, 12:20am EST
La B.,
Are you not familiar with my wit by now? No explanation neccesary, it was sarcasm.
La Bellota Dec 26, 2006, 8:52am EST
Sorry....my wit was lost in my naivete. :)
Ron (in complete sheeple overload) W. Dec 26, 2006, 10:03am EST
Thats what we love about you La B. A naive Queen is easier to keep happy. Your evil minions however, often see the black (I couldn't resist the pun, sorry) humor in things. lol
La Bellota Dec 26, 2006, 10:34am EST
Thank you Ron! These minons are not sooo much evil as they are naughty. I quite like them.....but they are naughty for sure.
