The GD Holiday Special Tournament IS UP NOW!!!!!! Go to Holiday Discussion and Vote!!!
I was on the naughty list this year.... and am in the doghouse with dh. Money was tight so I only intended to do anything for the boys but stuff all our stockings.... DH said he didn't want any candy in his stocking.... on a budget it's hard to put what he did want, so I took the 1.99 lightning deal movies and put them in his stocking....He's crying foul since he didn't get me anything (he told me to stuff my own stocking so I put avon demos in it-- going to get them anyway for the biz...) and now he says I bought him Christmas gifts.... (not really, 3 cheap movies cost the same as the candy would have cost...). Can't win, we are going to do our Christmas in March when bonus comes, if the bills from the move are caught up... I need either a new laptop or a tablet. Wouldn't have been feasible before Christmas...

I hope everyone else had an awesome Christmas too!
Best gift was seeing my children's faces when they opened their gifts. DD13 was so shocked she got a new laptop and a tablet. DS16 was shocked with his tablet. DH was thrilled too with his Tony Stewart championship jacket and other stuff. I did get a 42" TV 1080p 240hz that is 3D with Internet apps, still waiting for DH to connect it.
Lots of great stuff from my SS

Some extremely nice parents of a student at the school found out about my camera and tablet being stolen and brought me a kindle fire, a camera, and cash. I love them and appreciate them so much. They made my heart happy, but I don't think I can accept such a fabulous gift from them. My principal says I can, but I am not comfortable with it. Remembering a post here about kids with lunch charges, I took the cash to the lunch room to help cover some of them. We have over 600 in charges at the school. This will cover a third of them.
I got 3 ornaments from my other students, a coffee mug, a hummingbird feeder, a drink tumbler, and fuzzy socks!!! I love fuzzy socks!!!!
From my daughter (19 and in college) I got a sticker for my car. Utm mom, a cross pen (she got it at a thrift shop type place, I told her not to get me anything lol) and a wallet I picked out and paid for because I don't want her wasting her money on me! She also did my stocking and got me a slinky and my ferrero raffaelo candies and a christmas throw.
From my son 22, I bought myself a camera bag to replace the one that was stolen
My husband got me a sweater and a pair of touch gloves so I can still use my phone
I got some great chocolate and a notebook and a calendar from my sisters and their kids, but what I liked best was seeing my nieces, all 3 of them, liking their presents from me. I got 2 of them (19 and 17) cameras, and the third one (8) a netbook.
Santa brought me a Child who had the brightest smile that I have seen in awhie
And all my Chicks in the nest for a week of fun and love
I think you must be loved by your students for the parents to want to replace items that were stolen. They probably know that you use your tablet and camera for school stuff also and want you to be able to continue your good work.Originally Posted by biomajor
