Either gotten or given, in the material or in the abstract, positive or negative, that meant something to you.

I'm not so into the crazy material shopping aspect of the holidays (given my dearth of filthy lucre at this struggling stage of my life) and unless you really know someone's likes, gift buying can be difficult...but I did buy this for myself:

The Big Book of Breasts

I read about this a few years back when it was in the planning stages, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it earlier this month at the place I get my erotic art & comix from. I had some store credit accrued so I got it on the cheap...and it was already inexpensive to begin with for a hardcover, large-format Taschen book. Go to the site to get a good intro on it, it's fascinating.

Basically for a breast man like me, this is better than a PS3. I waited to tear the plastic shrinkwrap off it until today, so this was my official stocking stuffing from Santa. And unlike my childhood toys of yore, it's not going into the closet after getting bored with it within a month, I'll tell you that.

^^^^So much sexier than my set of 29, yes 29, multi-colored Sharpies but I love them. I got some cosmetics that I would not splurge and buy for myself from my guys and 2 pairs of pretty earrings to help soothe my vanity about having chopped off all my hair. I was given a beautiful figurine to add to my collection that means a lot to me

I also got a paper cutter

I got a new Robert Parker "Spenser" novel. Hundred Dollar Baby

Everytime I type or read or say "Spenser" I think of the TV series with Robert Urich as Spenser and Avery Brooks as Hawk, and the way Hawk said Spenser's name: "Spens-ah"

I got 100 dollars from my parents and 100 dollars from my aunt.

I think my fave is a calendar that Lake got made for me with photos of Vinci for every month!!! It's soooooo cute

I also really liked a gift I picked out for myself that my sister bought for me - a book containing the menus and a couple of recipes from all the best fancy restaurants in Montréal!

And I also really like the pair of earrings Lake's parents gave me.

He got me a white gold ring that has a pink sapphire heart in the middle and two little diamonds on each side. It's very delicate and girlie. I just love it!

I also finally got the salt and pepper grinders I have been wanting!

Robert Urich and Avery Brooks were dead sexy in that show. I'm presently entertaining thoughts of having a threesome.

Mr Osuche and I gave each other the gift of a 2 week trip together. It was both special and life altering...in a good way.

Then he upped me by buying me 2 jewelery sets while in Isreal - one made of local (Golan Heights) lava and the other one made of a red garnet. They're gorgeous.

My mother gave me $$ to buy the leather couch we've been dreaming about for the better part of 3 years. I may have to rob Peter to pay Paul and use the $$ to pay for classes this sememster and get the couch this summer. We'll see.

We have our family gathering/dinner and exchange on Christmas eve, then Santa comes at night and each of my kids visit the other outlaws, ... I mean in-laws side of their families. With a firefighter and a cop that both had to work this Christmas eve, it was even a little more hectic than normal. Son had to arrive late, just coming off duty, and the other was able to get somebody to cover two hours at the firehouse, so there overlap was short. I think the very causal snack-and-kibitz we then have on Christmas night, with the kids SO into all that Santa brought and the adults able to just crash and relax with that 'amen' feeling, has the most smiles and satisfied atmosphere and is my most enjoyable gift of the season.

As for gifts, my gratitude is equal to my concern. My kids joined forces and gave me a TV which was very generous of them. The fact that my monitor was bigger than my TV has bugged them since I moved my 13" from the bedroom when my big tube died this summer. I appreciate their gesture but question their priorities. The kids are suppose to be telling the old man to get with the 'world' and not the boob-tube. LOL

Among my presents is a beautiful blue beaded sun-catcher star and a very special calendar the will let me know the 'official school schedules' for a far off place, and able me keep ahead of somebody that is ALWAYS trying to get MORE time off of her job.

Hasn't left it alone since I gave it to him yesterday morning. Even puts it on his pillow with him when he sleeps. I've named the toy Ron Jeremy.

Yeah, sort of a corny thing to be so happy over a gift you've given a pet but it just makes me smile to watch him play with it. Of course, he still won't touch any of those damn gingerbread cookies I made the other day.

YES!

A yellow porcupine looking thing with all spikes and a nose with eyes about the same size? "Spittyball" has to be the Big Wheel toy for dogs.
