2. I was given a beautiful silver charm necklace from my friend Alex, and one more gift which has yet to come. I'll know what that one is on Saturday.2
3. I got a pair of canary yellow earrings which were handmade by my friend Christina, always the creative one.3
4. Me and my eight closest friends from school (excluding one, Rachieee!!) all decided to do Secret Santas instead of hassling with eight presents. My friend Astrid was my Secret Santa, so she gave me a blue tank top and a matching cobalt scarf.4
5. From my parents I received a silver chain with a sterling silver dog-tag hanging from it, that had a flower carved in the center. On the back was inscribed "If daughters were flowers, I'd still pick you."5
6. Also from my parents were a pair of hanging diamond earrings in the shape of hearts, framed by 24k gold.6
7. My mom always gives us (meaning me and my little brother) our separate gifts, as does my father, she gave me a canister of peppermint chocolate to use to make hot chocolate on a cold winter day, and she also gave me a pair of black Uggs, with a rhinestone heart in the back that says love.7
8. When it was my dad's turn to give us our gifts he gave me an figurine of an elephant sitting on a swing that rocks back and forth when you push it. It's an antique and it's simply radiant sitting on my shelf.8
9. My grandparents gave me a miniature figurine of a house, to add to the other four I've gotten in past years (still don't understand what I'm supposed to do with them...) and a dictionary. (wow).9
10. From my mom's business partner I got a new wallet with a tiny diamond crown on it, and crystal stud earrings.10
11. And last, from good old Santa Claus, I unwrapped a blue nano-chromatic iPod, a pair of pink fuzzy slippers, and a green sweatshirt (my favorite color)!11
This Christmas was definitely one to remember
