I got.....

Having desecrated my stocking, I found in it from Father Christmas (really me)

Two tangerines
£6:30p (about $12:60c in US terms)
A paddleball bat and ball
A mini chess set
A mouth organ
Some fake penalty tickets to put on random cars at stupid'o'clock in the morning when noone is awake to see me do it
A laser pen
A bookmark
A "T" seal and sealing wax
Two packs of Vienesse truffles
Three packs of chocolate coins
A compass
Three mini chocolate logs with marzipan robins
Three chocolate puddings
A small slab of chocolate.

From my family under the tree I got...

I got...

A red gala silk shirt that makes me look like Father Christmas.
Big black boots that also look like Father Christmas's.
A big back Father Christmas like belt embossed with red stars.
A dark blue denim shirt.
A map where you hang it on the wall and scrape off a gold foil covering of the countries that you have been to.
A regifted book to write in.
A 2012 diary.
A 2012 Taylor Swift calendar (not as good as the 2011 one but it has some good pics of her.)
A book called "Buried Alive" about the history of live burial.
A book called "Many Skies" about how things would be with different star systems.
A book called "Christmas-a candid history" about Christmas traditions
And my father asked me and my two brothers to shut their eyes. They did and I pulled my Father Christmas hat over my eyes to serve as a blindfold. When we could open our eyes and I could pull up my hat, we were each holding-a brand new blue plastic sledge. So if it snows in 2013 that will come in very handy.
A £15 I-tunes card
A book called "A horrid history of Christmas"
A £25 I-tunes card
And a book by Condalezza Rice.

I didn't just do this thread to boast about what I have though...I really do want to find out what the rest of you got for Christmas this year.

Peripherie

#1
I haven't opened my stockings yet (Yes, even at 31 I go to my parents to get my stocking and open presents.) But really my only present this year is a big one - a new sleigh bed. My old bd frame was falling apart. I slept wonderfully last night in it!

Update!

I also got a new cover for my Michi purse and a flat screen tv for my living room. I <3 and am so grateful for my family!

Pair of mugs and DVD set for me and hubby.
Toiletry set from the mother-in-law.
Body butter set from stepdaughter.
Matching lip butter set and another DVD from myself.

I plan to treat myself to a lot of leftover Christmasy thingies that go on sale on Thursday. ;) After all, in Greek tradition, the big gift exchange day is New Year's.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

So I make a A&A thread but do I put it here?  No.  Of course not.

Nothing in the way of gifts - parents decided to only buy for each other and my brothers didnt buy for each other or me. However, I got the gift of one more christmas with my grandmother which is all I really wanted.
