Gave the wife some booties and a neck/shoulder wrap. On you microwave first so it's nice and warm. Keeping it simple this year.

Sister a few photo and jewelry items.

My parents a few gift cards, Cubs items, and a grilling cookbook.

Jana's parents got an digital photo frame.

We don't do gifts with Jana's sister, just a nice xmas dinner out every year.

The best part was our nieces getting gifts. Books, movies, all sorts of misc toys, they had a blast.

General giving was done to the Crisis Nursery this year, for all the kids who have nothing. Giving gifts and money for meals with people from work.
