One of my favorite Christmas memories isn't opening gifts -- it's comparing loot with your friends afterwards! So, what did you get this year?

A terrible cold

Christmas Eve I woke up sick as a dog. I had to cancel Christmas with family and had to stay home. Two and a half days later, I’m not one bit better. Fabulous!

My dad bought me Christmas dinner at Canter’s. Nothing says “Happy Birthday Jesus” quite like Matzoh Ball Soup. Well, maybe not, but it was still delicious.

A Pretty Sweater

This isn’t is exactly (mine is better), but I got a pretty short sleeve, cowl neck sweater from my brother and sister-in-law. I knew it was a good thing my brother got married…

Hamilton Beach All-Metal Stand Mixer

Like Susie said, it’s way too long to wait to get married to have a stand mixer. I’ve always wanted one…

Bigfoot T-shirts

I got TWO. (I guess I made it clear that I believe in Bigfoot!)

Always Sunny

I brought Always Sunny to a Christmas White Elephant gift exchange with the hopes of grabbing it myself.

Unfortunately, after selecting it from the gift pile someone else grabbed it from me later and I got stuck with George Bush and Friends Axis of Evil finger puppets.

Fortunately, my mom is awesome and she stole it back from that person who stole it from me.

Thanks mom!

Swarovski Crystal Business Card Holder

Totally glam and professional! Something I would have always wanted, but would have never bought for myself. My brother & sis-in-law know me too well.

Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

Widget_d4wedvtmxffamn0n2ztq41

I’ve wanted this forever. My mom told me it’s something I would get as a wedding gift. Um, wedding? Not happening any time soon. I think she finally realized that and figured maybe it would help me snag a husband? Whatever the case, I love it and can’t wait to start using it!

Fleshlight

No, I didn’t misspell “flashlight.”  And there’s no picture because if you don’t know what this is, your ass needs to just Google it.

Magic Bullet Blender

Widget_dobqqkgjzitarmjadpeq3a

Yes, I am now the proud owner of the As Seen on TV Magic Bullet blender. I’ve already made guacamole and salsa. It is pretty amazing. I <3 it.

Personal Bible!

Widget_amr_lpfedjr4ilzltmpcco

And it even had my name on it. The odd thing is that it was sent to me by a friend of a friend and is called “The Apologetics Bible.” I was pretty much assured by this delivery that the Devil has a special corner in Hell saved for me following my eventual descent.

Breville Expresso Maker

Widget_dprs58byxjab5meocxlfzb

I got one of these babies. It is totally easy to use and looks neat on my counter. Now we shall see if my Starbucks addiction is reduced because of it. It would be nice to save the money.
