I have - both! :)
We were invited to my SIL, who is almost as Christmas Crazy as I am and add to that - an extremely great cook, so I don't complain. It was a super cosy and very traditional Christmas eve.
My presents - here we go, DH gave me a USB record player
Yep, a USB record player. What I want to do with it? I am going to record all my lovely vinyl music to my pc, so I can either burn it to CD's or put it on my ZenStone (I'm not an Ipod fan). And I have plans about borrowing my parents' lovely and very scratched vintage records from the fifties and record them too. And yes, I do hear vinyl music almost every day - I know, I'm a bit nerdy.From son, whom I've told is old enough to buy his parents, aka his main sponsors, Christmas gifts - I got the Polar Express. Now I can watch it as often as I want to, but only in December.
From my SIL I got a pair of fabulous high heeled sneakers, black/white with a white stiletto heel - I promise to take a photo soon. I wore them at work today and everybody commented on them.
My MIL had knitted a lovely sweater of the most luxurious soft wool and in the most beautiful dark red colour. I love when somebody make homemade gifts for me.
And from my parents, we have agreed on small gifts, I got a wonderful manicure set. A small suitcase with tools, and there is everything a nail enthusiast can wish for and also nail polish for French manicure. Perhaps it sounds strange, but I relax having some quality time with my nails.
Happy New Year to all of you! :)
Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas. Can't wait to see the high-heel sneakers!
SvarSlet-> Flaurella, I promise to shoot a photo soon. I have sorted out some things to sell on the internet, I'm in a clearing things out process. :)
SvarSletHi Sanne,
SvarSletI'm so happy to hear that you had a lovely holiday. Wow, your USB record player is a fantastic gift. Our neighbor has been recording his records to cd's and sent over a couple to my husband. My husband plays guitar and use to play in bands back in New Orleans. He also played a little when we lived in Austin, Texas. We really appreciate good music in this house so I'm excited for you about your USB gift. That's great!
I'm also looking forward to seeing those sneakers. They sound really cute. Wishing you a fabulous start to a new year!!!
Love,
Gigi
-> Gigi, Thank you for your comment. I'm really happy for this USB record player. We cannot live without music in our home, so the stereo is always on and I like to select music appropriate for the situation. Son has been playing drums since he was a little boy, so we have a huge drum set taking up much space in the basement. Happy New Year to you too. :)
