And She bought herself a Diamond Ring. (she works 3 full time LPN jobs to pay for my brothers college tuition, both are in college, So I get really happy when she splurges on herself because she never ever buys herself anything nice) My grandmother Got her a Brand New Electric Blanket and a Brand New FULL Queen Sized Bed Set. hmm........thats it i think

A Peta Membership (includes discounts on clothing, Awesome magazine Subscriptions) I got his parents a Deep Fryer His Sister (age 13) an aroma therapy set with little claire accessories His older brother (26) a Gillette Mens Shaving Gift Set His Sister In Law a Dove Gift Set (shampoo, shower puff, body wash, etc) And I haven't recieved his families presents to me yet (wednesday)
HE GOT ME:
A 27" Flat Screen Television!!! (OMG I WAS SPEECHLESS) A Dvd Player A Teddy Bear A Nice Shaver with A whole box of Cartiges ($$) TWO bottles of shaving cream!! (at my house I use desposable shavers and shampoo!!, So this is like Lux-Ur-Y!!!) A Manicure Set Excendrine Tension Headache Medicine!!! (the big bottle)(I always get headaches and never have headache medicine, He knows exactly what i need, like, want!!!) And I wanted to buy a Playstation 2 but they are sold out everywhere!! So he let me borrow his, Which wouldn't normally be THAT big of a deal, But he lives an hour away so he can't come and get it back until his next trip to my town (Which is usually 7 days apart, but luckily for him we are going to a PETA Protest on Wednesday so he'll get it back then)
OH AND GET THIS.........
HE CLEANED MY ROOM!!!! Thats Love! haha, My room SERIOUSLY looked like a war zone. you could not see the carpet! He took EVERYTHING out of my room, Vacuumed, Cleaned my side table, TV stand, jewerly box everything (I couldn't because i'm highly allergic to dust) he took apart my bed and rebuild it so that it looks like a totally New bed! He went to K-Mart and Bought me $50 worth of those Plastic storage containers for my clothes, bibles (i collect them), notebooks, mathmatic science universe bookes i like to read, EVERYTHING!! It was SO Trading Spaces!! We threw EVERYTHIGN away that was not important, He drilled holes in the back of my TV stand so that all the cords and wires so go through them and not be messy and unorganized, now you can't even see them!! And he taught me all about my new TV, Its the BEST 27" TV they sell at Best Buy, so it has all these crazy features. I'm not really into all that electronic stuff so he taught me everything about it, it switches to wide-screen, and OMG its amazing, I am so happy!!!
WOW, I hope my Christmas doesn't sound Selfish or anything, It wasn't about the material stuff i got, It was about All of the time and effort and Love that was put into making everything so perfect. My boyfriend just bought himself a $300 cell phone and it was stolen, Then he raised the money for a new one, But instead bought my present. He sacrificed his beloved "electronics" to get me a nice electronic. It just means so much to me. I mean, he did NOT have to get me one so nice, but my previous tv was AWEFUL!! You know how the Simpsons are yellow? Well on my previous TV they were Orange and RED!!! That is Messed up!! The coloration was SOO OFF!!
I can't get over how materialistic this sounds but I came from Poverty. When I was little my parents couldn't afford christmas presents so churches and our indian reservation donated them. And we couldn't afford groceries so the church let us shop for free. We lived in a Bad "ghetto" neighborhood that was not safe. BUT then My mother went to nursing school and Got a really nice job at the best assistant living home in PA. In order to live there you have to pay a $200,000 down payment, and then $2,000 a month after that!!! WHOA! Only the wealthiest people retire there for there elderly years. She moved us into a private cul-de-sac, now works 3 jobs, often over 16 hours a day. And Gave us such a wonderful Life. SO I don't take any of this for granted. And I'm mostly excited that I saved up enough money to buy my mom everything she wanted for christmas, things she would have never bought herself because she is the most selfless person on earth!! I'm not telling you about my wonderful to christmas to rub it in your face or anything, Just to say that I can't believe it! I didn't do anything special to deserve it, I mean i dedicate my life to saving animals and by being vegan, But thats not a bother, its what I enjoy doing. Its just my lifestyle, its easy. Oh man, I am just so filled with happiness right now! I hope you all had a great christmas as well! or hannukah or whatever religion you are or arent!
