What DIDN'T you get?...

(not being negative...I am very grateful for what I have and what I received)

but was there something you thought you wanted for Christmas and didn't get?...

I thought I was going to get a tree skirt, but now I can make my own!  (which is what I was wanting to do... and here is a project I can start AND finish, right? --see NY resolutions post)

Re: What DIDN'T you get?...

  • I got WAY over, above, and beyond anything I could have imagined.  This is the first Christmas in YEARS that actually felt like Christmas (present wise).  I couldn't have even asked for more.

    The only thing that I actually NEEDED was clothes and I just bought those on super duper sale (16 shirts for 100 bucks). 

    I also wanted a big print of a wedding picture and I just ordered that also.

    ETA: Most imporantaly a baby but we see that didnt happen....

  • I wanted to see my sisters and hang out with MY family and not DH's family like we do every.single.year. (I love them but c'mon...).

    Winter weather fail.  Thanks Mother Nature.  *Kicks snow in air*

  • A food processor.

    For the family gift exchange, I asked for a cheapo food mill and a food processor, and instead got an expensive food mill... I kicked myself in the head for being greedy and asking for two things, and for putting the food mill first... dang it!

    In retrospective, I should've asked for a sewing machine, and I would've gotten an expensive one! ::kicks herself again::

  • Meh I really didnt want much this year.

    I jokingly asked for the Tiffanys necklace never thinking I would get it and I did!

    Pregnant ladies (or other ones for that matter) should NOT be kicking themselves-virtually or for real! =)  But I hear ya!  I'll 'virtually' send you my machine that's sitting with a cover on it all dusty... (cheapo Singer..., but helped make some wedding table runners....)

  • I wanted alot, but didnt ask. Dh and I did not exchange gifts this year, since we close on the house in 25 days. ALot of family gave us $$$, wich was super!

    Crying One day...

    I want one of these too.  You could try to argue your way into getting it for the baby.  I have a friend who did that.  I'm hoping to use that argument and that it will work!

  • I got nothing.  Yep, Redneck did not buy a single gift.  My parents gave us cash for our anniversary and that "included Christmas."  His mom gave me a serving dish.  So yeah, Christmas sucked gift-wise.

    Sigh...that's the exact angle I'm taking.  I'll keep you posted. Wink

  • Like Lore, I didn't get a food processor.  I have one, but the blade is broken (and apparently you cannot purchase a replacement), it works, but it could be better.  I also was hoping for some preggo clothes.  I didn't ask for them, but I assumed someone (mom) would realize that I needed them.  Oh well.

    Good luck ladies!! This was my wedding present from DH. I love it!!

  • I didn't want much this Christmas really, but I could have gotten some more clothes. I really need new work clothes -- I wear the saem outfits every other week....
