So I wasn't even expecting to get any physical gifts from my immediate family this year, since mom's mantra the last few weeks has been "It's going to be a TINY Christmas this year!"
Hell, i didn't even bother to write up a list. I pretty much told my family I wanted/needed cash this year. So I was pleasantly surprised to have 2 small bags of stuff to unwrap ^_^

-$100 cash from mom and dad
-$30 from my sister
-$20 gift cert to Holyoke Mall from my nephew
-very pretty scarf, hand-knit by mom
-AAA membership renewal
-2 calendars: one Irish, with many of the pics being of places I'd been to as a child; one Notes From The Universe
-Ireland magnet for the fridge
-copies of my favorite recipes that my grandmother's used to make <3<3<3

And the few things from Aunty Pam (who is FINALLY getting better at picking out nice clothes for me)
-Lovely Arabian-style top
-Gift cards to Lane Bryant and WalMart
-Heavy implication that, should I ever need her to, she'd be happy to help me out financially

Josh, the lucky bugger, got a shit-ton of DVD's including the ENTIRE Twilight Zone series!
At least we won't be bored for the rest of the winter ;p

Oh, and a friend of mine is going to sell me his spare LCD screen for $100 and a tin of my Chocolate Orgasm Cookies! So hopefully by this time next week, I'll be able to draw in color again and actually SEE things as they're supposed to look. Currently, everything is insanely dark and it's nearly impossible to browse FA from my own machine.
