What did you give and get for the holidays? What did you have to eat?

My husband gave me a watch. I was sooo hoping for one. He made me a lap writing desk or a desk secretary that I can use in my lap. I got a DVD from my brother. I got chocolates, cookies, bridge mix (there is a pattern here)from my husband's wife. A loofa bath thing with a stick and on a string from another brother. A Lowe's gift card so I can spend more money. I got muffin pan and silicon muffin incerts from my sister in law's sister. My husband made my sister-n-law a rolling pin. He gave tools and a blue print in one of my brothers and tools to another brother. I gave cds and new spatula to my sister in law (She had wanted a new one). A sign language DVD to my sister in law's sister. Gift cards to my brothers and my hubbie. Made hats for as many people as I could. Never finished my weaving. But I will get back to it. It's taking way longer than I thought. Joint gifts from everyone was a new set of everyday 8 piece ware of knives, forks, spoons. Really, really needed them. This is just my family. Next week we go to see my husband's family. I'm working on some leather craft for his Mother. Maybe a hat for her or her son/my husband's brother. I have a video of old time country western famous singers-that's the only kind of music he likes. But he may have a video already because he collects stuff like that, so I need a back up like a hat or more leather stuff. So what did you give and get for the holidays? www.about.com has some wonderful blank certificates that you can write in something you're willing to do for someone. Like my brother could cut my hair and I could wash his car. So if you're not done with the holidays yet (Kwanzaa is just starting), you may want to check it out. Or if you have birthdays coming up, etc. But we cleaned and cooked so we also gave the gift of food. Sister-n-law's sister brought baked beans. My husband cooked in the oven (60 mile per hour winds, he couldn't grill). He made a potato salad, cooked country style beef spare ribs, salmon fish, and pork tenderloin. He also made a cake-walnut and apple. He bought diabetic blueberry pie. I bought pumpkin pie and made cottage cheese and fruit cocktail. We were given apples by the American Legion. Your turn. The greatest gift, of course, was the time we spent with each other. Take care.
