What is the best/worst thing you got for Chrismas this Year

Lucky you Den :bawling:..even my mom never gave me a gift voucher to be spent. Well maybe coz I once said that I only accept cash.

the most terrybul thing happened this christmas- I GOT NO BOOKS!!

I can hardly believe that my mom didn't give me a book.

this is the first time in my life this happens, I once got seven, now none.

so the best thing was what my grandmother gave me ( i got the money and bought it my self) it was the cd with evanescence and a male sweater I love them and a snoopy watch.

I was so shure my mom would get me a book so I didn't think of it.

well the worst thing was what I got from my dog I think, it was: a thousand words of happyness... that is not a REAL book to me.

my mom bought it and only makes me sad that she thinks I need it.


I envy you mono I love the sonnets Barrett-Browning wrote, that is a great gift...

The best and most memorable present I received was an Oregon Opal bead (from the exceedingly thoughtful Mono) that perfectly compliments the one I always wear around my neck. They seem to get along quite well. <3
I am also getting the chance to see my father, sister and brother for the first time in a very long time. :)

I dont usually get many Christmas presents (we dont do them much in my family) and this year I was away from home... But my English friend visited me and his present was
A 1KG CHOCOLATE BAR!!!!
That was funny...and crazy...and nice...mmm chocolate... mmm 1kg chocolate... (strangely enough, I havent finished eating it yet)

Best thing I got was all the Monty Python dvd's.
Worst thing was a Hoe To Build A Birdhouse kit.It didn't have the instructions. :confused:

Welcome back Bong ;). Hope you had a good holiday.

I've been busy. I hope everyone's was cool.

Doing what? Building a birdhouse?

No, hosting guests, going to see family, having a three day blackout.

Ah the best gift ever: Solid pewter assidium playing board and pieces, well the pieces are pewter and the board is 1/2 inch thick glass, with a star map underneath shoing through the glass, and felt bottom...so cool :thumbs_up

Bah the worst gift ever: The gift my Collage gave to me... an invoice for the next semester stating I owe 3100$ for general fees and another 250$ for books...schooling is so expensive! :mad:

Hey Bongitybongbong, welcome back, not that I can really say that being away and all, but welcome back nonetheless!!

Thanks Stan.

Best thing: We where invited to my mother . She was feeling quite well this christmas. She and my stepdad was cooking food for two days to be able to provide the traditional swedish christmas table for our big family ( we were 11 people there!)Most of the food, sadly, consists of dead pig. Ham, sasuages, meatballs, ribs. And then there was two kinds of pickled herring, egg with caviar, omelett with shrimp, a kind of dark brown bean stew, home made mustard, a kind of traditional potatoe gratin with hint of anchovy and onions in it, boiled potatoes, majonaise and redbeet sallad, smoked salmon, smoked elk, two kinds of homemade bread, and three kind of cheese. Oh, and snaps. Two kinds of snaps, it´s almost like vodka but better. You drink it to the pickled herring, and sing together before drinking. And then there was the "sweet table" wich is a table covered with homemade sweets - chocolat, toffee , marcipan , home made cookies, deserts, dried fruit, spiced wine...


Worst thing : I still have not received my bodys weight in chocolate. I wish for it every year. Every birthday, greater occasion, christmas. But still... nothing. I got 2 kilo of belgian chocolate starfish, though. Still, a lot of kilos to go. They seem to be treating it like a joke. I do not joke about seroius things like chocolat.
