I didn't get any gifts because we don't really follow the "traditions." However, I did get a bonus from the company, therefore , I can't say I didn't get anything for x-mas.

did anyone get absolutely nothing?

no gifts, money, cards, food...nothing?

i got a gift from the ATOT Secret Santa. it was EXACTLY what I wanted which was a donating to a no kill animal shelter. it made me very happy to see that.

i did not get anything else, and had nothing to open on Xmas... but at my age, it is not that much of a big deal.

:)

There are some of us in this world who have never gotten a Christmas present.

We're Jews.

I got a book from MOM and a $100 from work.

That about covers it...


It's cool though.

Xmas is for the kiddies anyway.

Not that I don't like free stuff.... ;)

Ah, good point, but that movie was a bit of a let-down considering it was Sandler. But I mean...it was an animated movie...

But yeah, little things for 8 days.

Since we're just rolling all the solstice holidays into one, how is your Kwanzaa celebration going this year?

I had a co-worker that did the same thing. she couldn't celebrate any holidays or b-days. I feel bad for her kids :(

You're Jewish...

Your answer to the OP's question is simply "Yes, I got nothing for Christmas"

I thought that only bad children didn't get anything. Does that mean that

Don't you get little stuff for 12 days?
I think it's eight crazy nights.

I think it's hilarious that the sum of our knowledge of hannukah comes from an Adam Sandler song. (I'm not going to look up the correct spelling, although I know there's about a dozen correct spellings)

Heh, I think my parents forgot about me this year. I went downstairs while everyone was exchanging gifts and didn't see any under the tree for me, and my mom gave my dad this WTF look then said "Oh, I think your present is upstairs" and came down with a check that was dated 12/25/05 lol. Of course I'm a starving college student, so cash and homecooked meals mean more to me than toys :D
