So brides, what did everyone get for the holidays?

Just wondering what everyone got for Christmas/Chanukah?

I got a few sweaters, some bath and bodyworks stuff, much needed $$$$$, some giftcards (including the blockbuster gift card that i gave my brother 2 years ago for x-mas... ). Season 3 of Sex and the City, and Season 1 of Popular (anyone remember that show ?)

Still have a few Christmases left though (FFIL, Dad, Grandma), but most of that will probably just be $$

Hope everyone had a great day!

Well, I won't list all of my gifts again because I did on BHB and thinking of all of them may make my brain hurt! Haha. But the one thing I DID like from FMIL was a beautiful marble rolling pin. It's gorgeous. I actually registered for one, not that she has EVER looked at my registry, but I think I will keep it on my registry so I can display one and use the other. I got the infamous 'diamond' necklace that she claimed to spend 2000 dollars on, but it BARELY has diamonds on it and is not the one she originally showed JT (I sound REALLY spoiled with that statement, but I am just annoyed at all the drama this stupid necklace caused only for her to return the original one after JT went out and bought me a bracelet instead of a necklace), I got a crystal picture frame that's so-so but not my style, and a ton of other things. Those were just a few things from FMIL. She gave me more stuff that I'd rather not think about

I got a beautiful pair of Pink sapphire studs from my honey.

I got an ipod from my parents.

Lots of other little things, but I feel weird listing presents.

It was a nice holiday.

A Fabergage egg in mother of peral to put my engagement ring at night

Aldo boots
Seven jeans
A few tops from BGBG
Egyptian cotton sheets
Christmas Flatware
Lenox x-mas ornament of Mickey & Minnie (we got engaged in Disney)
