Didn't get to give much, financially wasn't in the cards for me. Me and the bro pitched in on an AP jersey for my mom, and i bought some misc stuff for my bro.

What I got...hasn't been as important. Had a stint in the hospital for a couple days, and managed to get home on wed, so the more important thing was getting home and spending time with my family. Also got to spend a lot of time with someone very important to me, and learned to appreciate her a little more. Sure I got gifts, but what's a gift without the ones you love. Think that gets lost this time of year.
Sorry to get all sappy, haha, but that was by far my favorite gift.

Gave...digital frame for my rents..seems to be a popular thing this year, but being unemployed seems to suck ballz. Though, tomorrow hopefully, I'll become employed ;)

Recieved, canon rebel XT (got it a while ago though, in fall), xbox 360, stereo system for my room (got it off craigslist for CHEAP!) gloves, and who knows what else. The family part of the holidays was what counts, and no one was injured.. Hope to see mine soon...
