Spill it. What'd you get for Christmas?
I know, I know. Christmas is not about the gifts, but... Enquiring minds want to know...
DH got me the sun/wind visor for my sunroof so I can finally open it while I'm on the freeway! I love that I have a sunroof but I hated that noise it made if I was going over 50mph while it was open. Drove me batty! He also got me a new hair dryer. My old one was no longer producing heat. 
My parents went nuts with my gifts. A lot of ornaments, kitchen stuffs, Disney stuffs (I didn't go with them in early Dec so my mom went crazy in the WDW gifts!) and gift cards. I have a case in my purse specifically for gift cards. I use them a lot.

Call me Kat =^..^=
Re: Spill it. What'd you get for Christmas?
DH got me the third (and final) diamond for my pendant, which I love love love! He also got me Mario Bros. 25th anniversary edition with all of the classic games. He also gave me two Swarovski dated ornaments (one is the first in a new series) and a little Swarovski sleeping kitty that is too cute. I should also list my iMac, my super-awesome camera lens (that I'm paying for the majority of), and Adobe Lightroom 3 as sorta' Christmas gifts. I also got a Best Buy gift card from my parents. I'm planning on saving it for next year's iPhone upgrade.
The IL's went all out. They got me the Swarvoski Bambi figurine, some stuff for the house, and a watercolor painting that MIL made for me. They also gave DH and I the rest of the collection of bookshelf games from Target and a check for us to buy clothes. They went wayyy overboard, but that's just how they are.
This year was my year for all the big stuff. Next year will be DH's. We're planning on getting a 3D projector for the theater room in the basement. Awww yeah!

I confess that I played a little last night and had a lot of fun, but it was also frustrating because I couldn't remember where all the hidden items were, the timing, etc. lol. I also miss the 8-bit graphics. DH said the game was the 64-bit All Stars rip. It has Super Mario Bros, SMB Lost Levels (2 in Japan), SMB 2, and SMB 3.
