although i got some really great gifts this year (every year i get great stuff), this year was better then most just to see the expression on my best friends face when he opened his gifts.......that, to me, was the greatest gift thusfar.

I spent it with three nieces and nephews aged 1-3 and watching them open their hundreds of presents and then tossing the toys aside and playing with the boxes and wrapping paper was worth the price of admission. :P

Also seeing family that I hadn't seen in a year or so was wonderful. We're one of those odd families where everyone gets along. We even had Christmas night dinner at my stepmother's ex-husbands house - I mean EVERYONE gets along!

One thing my brother and my SIL did last night was really cool - they gave everyone a can of Playdoh and you had to create something with it for a prize (they were originally going to make us sing for our supper - thankfully they know how none of us can sing ). You could trade colors in all or in part with others. I had to leave early, but my other brother, sister and her boyfriend were STILL working on theirs after 30 minutes, so they better be really good, hehehe. It was fun and I'll get some pictures and post them.

I also found out how invaluable a digital camera can be when you like a particular kind of wine someone's brought and know you'll never be able to remember the name.
