I just exchanged gifts with my boyfriend tonight - we declared this "Ttara123 and BF Christmas", since tomorow will be hectic going between family parties and we will be in different cities on Christmas day. We went out to eat, saw the Nutcracker, and gave presents. It was a good night.
Anyway, I'm shocked at how well he picked out gifts for me. He got me an LED belt buckle, which is a gadget I have thought to be hilariously awesome for a while now. Apparently I never mentioned it to him, though - he just saw it in the mall and knew it would be something I would find to be hilariously awesome
And these fuzzy bunny slippers, which have microwaveable aromatherapy heat packs (although I dont' know how much good the aromatherapy could do... my nose isn't by my feet!) I love these because my feet are always cold!
And I don't have a picture, but he gave me a beautiful pair of white gold hoop earrings! They're so pretty! They have little vine designs etched into them...I don't know if I could've picked out better presents for myself!
ETA: I got a few more presents, but the most notable is a diamond ring I got today from my grandma! She saw me admiring it a few weeks ago when I was at her house, so she gave it to me for Christmas! I'm so happy...it's white gold with seven little diamonds. I have to get it sized before I can really wear it out of the house, because it's too loose right now for me to feel comfortable. But I can't wait!

Hey ladies, I know I don't post much but I'm sitting here on xmas eve and actually have a moment to spare! I exchanged gifts w/ former coworker/gay bff and he got me a $30 GC to H&M... he truly knows me! Also, at the restaurant I work at PT, they gave us $50 GC to Best Buy. And finally, I exchanged gifts w/ the BF today... he got me a necklace w/ my initial in a little engraved box. (I got him a football jersey, some Jack Black beard lube, and some surfboard wax.) Merry Christmas everyone!
This is hysterical. It comes with a Jump to Conclusions mat that you can't see in the picture.

My "big" gift was just money to go shopping with because my mom hates buying me clothes.
My favorite gift was a necklace I wanted in the Bahamas but was too cheap to buy. Someone else bought it and I was so sad, but today I opened it up from my dad. It's a beautiful coral and mother of pearl necklace. I'll add a picture later.

We've had a great Christmas. Our teenage daughters gave me a very fancy whip cream dispenser that takes the chargers and we've already made some yummy whip cream. Also some accessories for my new laptop that hubby bought me and a beautiful picture of themselves. He went way overboard and I feel very spoiled. He totally surprised me with the beautiful fur coverlet from Pottery Barn, Victoria's Secret jammies and panties and lots of great stocking stuffers.
Most of all we've had the best couple days hanging out at home, lounging around, eating yummy food and just relaxing.
