I spent two and a half hours with my mother (she's in a nursing home) on what would have been her 50th wedding anniversary (my father "went West" in June after a massive stroke, but he was a very sick man towards the end), and she recognized me :jump:. I don't know about the rest of you, but that was the best holiday present I can think of. :)

Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

A couple of blouses, an expensive perfume (courtesy of dad :o), a cute necklace with dolphins and a certain sum of money (a late present for my birthday) and the privilege to wash all the dishes. Oh, and I got a cold :(.

A really nifty little pair of binoculars 8)

I got a poem, a handmade card, a really nice dinner at a French Bistro restaurant in Manhattan, and a beeper, and a hat and gloves, and a shirt and jeans, and a shopping bag full of Chocolate Stash: 2 boxes of chocolates and a box of hot cocoa envelopes and a box of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies, and two other boxes of chocolate cookies.

I got a nifty purple cell phone cover and a cherub hologram that goes on the face of the phone, but still lets you see the names and number of people who call. I also got some cool socks- you should see my sock collection;plain socks are so boring- one pair have little hands and feet that look to be finger-painted on them and the other are toe socks that are like mittens for your feet.

A super-duper mountain bike :)))

One of the coolest holiday pressies I got was the boxed DVD set of the first season of the old BBC teevee series *Upstairs, Downstairs*. I really loved that show.

The second season is due out soon, and I've got an I.O.U. from my Honey to get me that, as well. :)
