Welcome to Gaia! ::

well I'm sure well all post about our curries Xmas, I'm just sorting through some videos and uploading pictures first, but let's hear about your Christmas too.

I'm sitting here in chaos cause I don't really want to put anything away. I feel like Xmas just happened yesterday when I have all my gifts in sight with tags still on them and stuff lol.

My parents got me a feather bed, (that is put in place already of course). Feels like sleeping on a cloud.

My brother got me an iPad!(he always overspends so I'm glad I overspent on his) which I'm using right now.

I also got the david's tea winter collection and two new travel mugs along with a timer/thermometer (David's tea is so good, I lack the ability to drink tea from any other store now, it had to be David's and the only one near me is in the mall which means finding Parking and going in, they should really open more independent coffee shop style stores with tables and chairs so I can sit and study and drink their tea lol)

My aunt got me a sweater and hat/scarf/gloves combo from old navy plus shower gel from body shop. Might exchange the hat/gloves/scarf, not a fan of the color/pattern, but I always feel so guilty doing that

I got some ski socks and undies, I'm so damn old to be happy about that lol, a new ski helmet that is gorgeous, a couple shirts (one says "your dog don't know sit") and some good dark chocolate. Also this sweet car battery that I can use to boost my car without needing another car, it has a flashlight and can charge any USB (iPhone/iPad) and it has an air compressor for flats.

What did everyone get? Ever want to use that gift receipt to exchange if yes fteel guilty doing it? Do you procrastinate putting everything away.

Good god my family overspent this year. I don't know how we still have a house.
From my dad: A $200 gift card to Gordmans, which is REALLY weird cause that's WAY more than I've EVER seen him spend on anything. Like, anything ;-; loved

From my mom: A bathrobe (needed. I was sick of going downstairs half naked cause all of my clothes were down there).

An iTunes giftcard
A bath set (like, lotion and body wash and a scrubbie and perfume)

Again, I wonder how there's a roof over our heads. It was really awesome though, a completely great Christmas. The fish'll get a few new friends and perhaps some more filtration, le guinea pig will prolly get a nice big salad, the cats got a lot of toys, and the rabbits'll get a big salad too. I did a lot of hand-made gifts, and they went over really well cause they were custom, you know?
