From DS - He painted a large canvas of a picture I took in Ft. Myers. Hanging in my kitchen - Love it!
From 1 Sister - Flower arrangement, gift card to Red Lobster and pj set with socks.

From female boss - a very generous check. DH and I will use part to go out to a nice dinner when we are both feeling 100%.

From the other 2 bosses - a bag of food items and the other nothing. This after I just did a huge job that they would have never gotten done without me. Pretty disappointing, but not unexpected.

Still waiting for gifts from my oldest sister which were delivered to a wrong address and she is replacing. But she did send 2 Christmas books for the kindle.

I bought myself a few new Christmas Elf ornaments since I collect them.
I have a very dear friend that lives in another state and we exchange boxes full of fun surprises, but we are always late with mailing our packages and as of yet, neither of us have received our Christmas boxes! LOL

This wasn't for Christmas but I thought I'd share this anyway as it is one of the most special gifts I've ever received. In August for my birthday, my 12 yr old dd took a set of envelopes and decorated them with colored pencils. She wrote something on each one such as "open when lonely", "open when sad" " open when you want a walk down memory lane" etc. Inside each one is a letter she wrote to me. the memory one talks about fun memories, the sad one tells me about how much I have to be thankful for and how much my family loves me, the overwhelmed one tells me to slow down and take a deep breath, etc. It is the most thoughtful thing I have ever seen and it came from a 12 year old!!! she said she got the idea from Pinterest.
