Christmas Goodies...

Santa's been very nice to me this year... I guess I have been a good boy afterall... :)

Let's see... these are the things I received this Christmas and more is to come...I think...! The gifts came from friends and family... :)

1. Swarovski Crystal - "seashell" - It's a beautiful collectors item... I now have to buy a display case for it! :) - I am also officially a "member" of the rich and famous club, where I can talk about the latest Swarovski crystal collection while sipping tea and eating my Grey Poupon...!
2. Braun self-cleaning electronic shaver - I charged it up and when I shaved with it for the first time... it left a black oily smudge on my face! LOL - but it's really nice and futuristic looking! No more razor burns!
3. Philips VOIP dual use phone - compatible with Skype and the regular phonelines - no PC necessary! I now need to order Skype In and Skype Pro!
4. Shisheido anti-wrinkle eye cream - my new best friend!
5. A Solio solar charger for mp3 players, cellphones, and a bunch of other stuff - it's really cool and environment friendly! It folds away or can be stuck to the window to charge! One fully charged Solio can charge a cellphone twice or provide over 15 hours of music!
6. A box of really fancy and fatty cookies! I'm looking for victims to share with!
7. A raccoon pom pom kit - one of those arts and crafts stuff - very cute!
8. Hawaiian nuts, candy, and a braclet too! It came all the way from Hawaii from someone I "dirty danced" with -topless- at a club!! *wink*
9. A new storage unit for my kitchen pots and pans - it looks wonderful - my kitchen is mostly neatly organized now - something I wanted for over a month!
10. Cold hard CASH - to slip into some stripper's panties... :)
11. A Kenneth Cole wrist watch with a matching wallet from Kenneth Cole too! - makes me look HOT... LOL...!!
12. A Junior's Tiramisu Cheese Cake - DELIVERED - MY GAWD - it was heavy (410 calories a slice), BUT YUMMY!!

Sigh... what a long list of stuff...! :) And of course, I received a bunch of well wishes by card and by email as well. All are appreciated! :)

What surprised me most wasn't a particular gift... it was actually a card from someone that I haven't seen or been in contact with for over 3 years. I've only met him once in person and only had dinner with him once as a semi-date... we've exchanged a few emails here and there.. but... I don't believe we've stayed in touch for at least two if not three years....

I received his card by mail over the weekend... it wasn't one of those "box cards", this person actually went out of his way to BUY a Hallmark card for me. In it, the message was brief and simple... "XOXOXOXO"... "Hugs and Kisses" :)

The card made me feel very special... very special... It shows that I was thought of during this very special time of the year. Think of it... I was thought of even tho this guy hasn't heard from me for ages. He went out, bought a card, and sent it to me. It was a gift of very warm fuzzy feelings... :)

I rank it as the best gift for 2007. Thanks "TH"... "XOXOXOXO" back at ya!
