well, my parents always go overboard for christmas. every year they spend way too much money on presents for everyone in the family. but this year, it was worse (or better, depending on how you look at it). i have 2 brothers, both or which are married, and i was married up until earlier this year. so to compensate for my lack of a spouse, my parents decided to pretty much spend twice as much on me as they did on my other brothers, since they didn't have to buy anything for my wife this year. so, with that said, here's a quick list of what i got for christmas:
parents/siblings:
2 pair old navy jeans
2 pair levi jeans
old navy performance fleece
old navy thermal shirt
hallmark ornaments - c3p0, padme, and yoda

hope you all had a happy holiday, and here's hoping everyone has a very happy and healthy new year!!
