I got a lot of great things for Christmas. And now that I know what I didn't get, I can go and buy things like The Island that I've been holding off on :-)

I got:

• An adorable The O.C. fic by symphonyflute
  
• RENT Motion Picture Soundtrack
  
• 3 boxes of Diet Brisk and a gift card to Borders
  
• Cheerful Eeyore socks
  
• A beautiful Narnia: LWW writing journal
  
• A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K. Hamilton
  
• The Chronicles of Narnia: Music from the BBC Television Series CD
  
• Monty Python and the Holy Grail Special Edition DVD
  
• A small bluelight flashlight for my keychain
  
• Endangered Species Chocolate Company: The Wolf Bar
  
• Package of Pentel R.S.V.P. pens (the only ones I like to write with)
  
• Toothbrush
  
• Orange (which had to have been, like, the best orange I've ever had in my life)
  
• Small stone box from Jordan
  
• Beanie Baby- a brown bear named Hawthorne who is a writing bear!
  
• Annual ornament (which I picked out myself)- a little beaver with antlers and a peperment candy fake nose
  
• Annual subscription to Highlander Magazine
  
• Washington Capitals Ovechkin T-shirt (my only short-sleeved shirt is a Peter Bondra one *frown*)
  
• Car visor CD holders
  
• Gift card to J.C. Pennys
  
• Northern VA book of road maps
  
• Car safety kit (with jumper cables et al)
  
• Emergency road triangle
  
• Neck & lower back massager with heat
  
• A pair of soft, green socks
  
• A plastic mat to protect the carpet from my deskchair in my new room
  
• A little extra spending money for fun stuff (I'm definitely buying The Island on DVD and The Clone Wars Volume 2 on DVD)
  

I think that's all :-)

And, best yet, everyone liked what I got them (even though my father and I both got my mother copies of Slap Shot 2 on DVD from the Walmart cheap bin, LOL). My dad laughed a lot and enjoyed the hobby kit as well- thank you for suggestions :-) It was a very nice Christmas at my house this year. So far, no major fights and lots of happiness. Probably a record for us! LOL And we all took our annual (albeit short, due to health reasons) drive around the neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights.

Annual subscription to Highlander Magazine

Oooh...I miss that magazine. My parents used to get it but stopped suscribing about a year ago. I got a Sam's Club membership and Grimm's Fairy tales (have the Brother's Grimm DVD but no chance to watch it yet) and a bio on Mark Messier (I know he's not a Red Wing, but he's my favorite player). But I must look into getting a Highlander subscription as I miss reading it and seeing what events are going on around me.
