Hello, everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa Claus spoiled you.
By the way, what did he bring you?

That's awesome that you got a new Silhouette! I wouldn't even know how to use one, and my husband and kids wouldn't even know what they are, but a cutting machine is still on my wish list!

I got a new Kitchen Aid mixer. a Ninja coffee pot, Aidas campus shoes, a L.L. Bean corduroy jacket, and some funny t-shirts. I was not expecting any of that from my husband and kids. They definitely spoiled me this year!
 
A cute Mickey/Minnie mini tote/purse from Sister#4, an insulated tote bag from Sister#4, Sister#3 gave me a family photo calendar, plus some cash from my Dad.

My son and daughter-in-love's gift to me was to join me on a Disney cruise and two days at Walt Disney World ... I love spending time with my kids and grandkids!!!
 
I got a hanging chair to put in the living room, which was on my wish list. And a bracelet from hubby. From my in-laws I got a new dab and bluetooth adapter for my car because mine broke.
In my family we don't give gifts to the adults. It very often just becomes a trading of wine bottles and that's a waste!
The most fun is to give gifts- especially this year. Hubby got a 3D printer from me and his whole family and we gave my mother in-law salt dough ornaments of hubbys feet. 408 months old! :giggle She laughed until she cried- it was awesome!
 
I FINALLY printed my December 2024 album. I also got a 2026 Disney Villains planner and coordinating stickers.

Plus my son got several card games (and a chess set) between Hanukkah and Christmas so we have plenty to play on New Year's Eve!

I received the Silhouette Portrait 4 cutting machine with the electrostatic mat. It's quite a change for me because I was always using the Silhouette Portrait 1.

I saw a video of a grown son's painted foot on a dish towel given to his mom....she loved it! And I think that is hilarious. That is a big ornament, though! So fun!
 
One of my roommates gave me cash (which she'll get back with the rent check...LOL) and the other gave me a journal and coordinating pen, an eyeglass cleaner micro fiber cloth that looks like a flower, and a funny gift that has a back story. One day I was bringing in my groceries and had ordered online the wrong size box of cereal. I got this ginormous family sized box of Honey Nut Cheerios, which looked ridiculous for me to be carrying, but I told her it was my Emotional Support Cereal! And that just cracked her up. So, she got me a "travel-sized emotional support cereal" (one of those single serve containers!). It was hilarious! She told me she uses that phrase all the time for food at work..."Here, Mike...here's some emotional support crackers!" I love that it resonated with her.

The rest of my gifts I bought myself when my bosses gave me and my co-worker Amazon shopping sprees on them. I got a new travel backpack, a Stanley tumbler, a Cosori air fryer, some Ferrero Rocher chocolates, and a new mouse and mousepad.
 
I got some new cookie baking racks which I really needed, a pair of boots and winter gloves to keep me warm in this -20C and colder weather, and some Lego flower kits that I had been eyeing.
 
I bought myself a kiln and a pottery wheel this year. :giggle
My uncle died last year and left me a little money, so it was really *his* gift to me. I've wanted a kiln for about 25 years, but I finally started taking pottery lessons last year. This summer, we started transforming what was my old craft room (that had fallen apart) into what my husband calls the 'pottery barn,' and I'm so excited. Now I feel really spoiled because I have a pottery studio and an art studio. :blush
 
Merry Christmas EVERYONE!
