we had one for we gave, so why not for what we got
I got several nice things for Christmas this year, plus the usual round of gift cards and a check from my wife's mom. But the one thing I will treasure most is what my Mom gave me this evening: the Smith family Bible. A very special Christmas gift - this Bible was purchased in 1834 by Obadiah Smith, my grandfather's grandfather. I am now the fifth Smith to own it since then. It contains the birthday and death records of my family for three generations and also records the births of two slaves born on my family's farm in the 1850's (my grandfather knew them when he was a little boy in the 1890's, 35 years after they were emancipated). There is also an old medicinal recipe written on the back flyleaf!
A Civil War, two World Wars, four Presidential assassinations, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Civil Rights movement - this Bible has been in my family through them all!
I have received tons of gift cards and sweets. Granny gave me $100 bill, while I gave her some homemade caramel bars top with chop peanuts.

hot sauce, 3 t-shirts, undies, long johns, $$$, Sophie's Choice, Amazon gift cards, a Starbucks gift card, a tooth brush, a mattress cover for my bed
some of these things maybe untraditional gifts, but the practical items in there I'm just too damn cheap to buy for myself -- except the tooth brush
I ripped my old mattress cover for my bed months ago....it was barely held together as of yesterday morning
Final tally: Twilight Zone Xmas Episodes, Special box set of Motorhead ale and glass, The Tingler, a skull tankard, a skull with a santa hat, Ghostbuster figures, Amazon gift card, Evil Dead The Musical, set of Bongo drums, C-ROC cruiser.
