I don't feel like cataloging everything, but it was mostly clothes (white t-shirts, socks, thermals), kitchen stuff (cheese grater, towels, cheese slicer, etc.), and a couple of christmas tree ornaments.

I got a car for christmas from my not-even-three-days-dead gramma...that made me pretty sad. :(

Aunt and Uncle: a ton of food, candy, and wine
Parents: card with a check in it
Work supervisor: new purse, Vermeer greeting cards (he's one of my favorite painters!)

My presents for my family sucked this year. I figured out it's a lot harder to get ideas of what they might want/need when I don't live in the same state anymore. Also I procrastinated shopping until the Sunday before. ...I did like some of the gifts I gave friends, though! *phew*

I got the WD TV Live+ HD (or something like that, I don't remember the exact name) ... soooo happy.
