Welcome to the 11th edition of the screaming pages Thursday Thirteen.
Back in November, I posted a Christmas Wish List because the hubby was complaining that he didn’t get hints. He wanted to know exactly what it is I was hoping to find under the tree. Christmas has come and gone and I’m here to report that I didn’t receive a single thing on my wish list. This week’s Thursday Thirteen is a list of things I found under my tree.
Warning: This list will aptly demonstrate that I am spoiled rotten.

- DVD player / Karaoke machine.

Bonus List: We have two Christmas traditions in our house. The first is that we buy one tree ornament for each year we’ve been together (here). The second is that we receive presents from just about anyone – cats, dogs, fictional characters, imaginary friends, etc. The rule in our house is that you only receive one gift from Santa and one from each other. These are usually the two biggest gifts. All other items under the tree are tagged as being from someone else. The name on the tag often relates in some way to the gift or a family joke. Below is a list of gifts given or received and who they were from.

What a happy Christmas babe you are! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Oooh, I like the dress. Pretty. And that’s a great tradition. We’ve often had gifts “from” the pets, but this is very cool. I may steal the idea for next year. I mean, who wouldn’t love getting a gift from Rincewind? 🙂
December 28th, 2006 at 12:56 pm
Did I hear chocolate? Did someone say chocolate? LOL

Nice LOOT you got last Christmas! Don’t sing yourself hoarse with the Karaoke now =) Have a Happy New Year!
December 28th, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Sounds like you had a good haul. My hubby spoils me too, I’m typing on my early Christmas gift.
Happy TT

Stay good for next year and have a Happy new Year!

i say it is good to be spoiled.
thanks for visiting my list.
December 28th, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Fleece sheets? That sounds very nice! I didn’t know they made such a thing!
December 28th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
You recieved some really wonderful things for Christmas! I love the second list. The gifts, and who got them for you are great. That’s a wonderful tradition. Hope you have a very happy New Year!!!
December 28th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
Who ever game them, they were certainly generous. Some great traditions you’re building there.
Thanks for visiting my TT.

I love that second list..! That could really get fun – thinking up names of givers to go with the different gifts. It would turn into a giant game of Trivial Pursuit.
And then my aunt would set the girls up against the boys, like she did every year for about a decade.
And one person would say, “Give me pink ones, I’m really good at those!” and would then proceed to miss every single question in that category.
..hrm. Maybe the idea needs a little adjustment. (Or perhaps that’s just my -=relatives=- that need a little ‘adjustment’.)

Oilers jersey? I wouldn’t argue with that, either! That’s QUITE a gift!
Maybe next year, Trevor will send a present. Hopefully a copy of the book he’s starring in, but with him, you never know…
Happy TT and thanks for stopping by West of Mars. See you next week!
(Will you post a picture of you in your jersey?)
December 28th, 2006 at 3:34 pm
Wow, you are spoiled indeed! 😉 Great presents!
Thanks for visiting my 13 resolutions and all the best to you and yours for the new year!

Chocolates would make my day. Or a tin of Almond Roca. I’m a sucker for toffee.
December 29th, 2006 at 10:41 am
I’d say Santa was very good to you. I had to smile….I got the “50’s and 60’s” CD….baby boomer that I am….lol
Happy New Year to you and thanks for visiting my TT.

WordPress hates me, so I emailed this comment to myself on Thursday, and regrettably, I’m just now getting around to posting it here. Sorry. :embarassed:
I love the gift tag thing. One of the people I’m quite fond of bought gifts for everyone from Teri Hatcher, his celebrity crush. I thought it was hysterical. Thanks for stopping by my list earlier.
