No, I didn't get everything but that is perfectly fine. I happen to find satisfaction in working for my worldly goods. Maybe I'm an oddball, but obtaining something you want (no matter how big or small) through hard work seems to bring more pleasure than just having it given to you.
I don't know, maybe it was the way I was raised but while gifts are great and all, nothing beats a hard-earned gift given to "me", from "me".

Christmas is over now. I expect at least a thank you for the gifts I sent w/o any in return. That is all I ask for!!!!!

Wanted my husband to live. He didn't. Got closer to my stepchildren. It's really not about the money or gifts.

I got Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.
I don't see what all the fuss was about.

No, but that may be a good thing. I probably would have shot my eye out.

If I didn't get any presents that would have been fine. Just hanging out with the family makes it a great day.

Those are the Christmas's to treasure. My grandmother passed away in September, her presence was missed. But we shared our favorite Christmas memories of her and all agreed our last Christmas with her was the best out of all of them...she was thriving, laughing, living, and having a lot of fun.

The best gift for me was the "presence" of my wife and kids all gathered around our tree in our blessed home, all "wrapped" up in each other........God is great.

Had a great time with family and grandbabies. We all had a nice Christmas. For how bad 2010 was financially, the kids really got some nice presents. Glad we all could get together and spend quality time. On the other hand, I am glad it is over. I made it through with a smile and a good mood, so that is an accomplishment for me!

I got to visit with family members. I got to see that everyone was in good health. I got to see smiles from everyone even though the economy sucks and many of us were laid off and looking for work. I got to participate in celebrating Jesus' birthday. I'd say I made out like a bandit.
