An ice storm and subsequent lack of power for 3 days.

So a good year, huh.

[Aaron_S]

So a good year, huh.

Oh fantastic!

I however do have family and friends who had power so I surfed around a lot once the animals were taken care of.

[drumcrush]

At my dads, 100$ to buy a new snake:) I still have presents from my mom and grandparents house to unwrap. Hopefully more stuff towards my animals and drums:)

[Robin.M]

Numerous books, $200 worth of Subway gift cards (addicted to Subs), pair of mitts, Jason Vorhees bobble head, and a Leatherman Raptor (so excited to have this!)

Most of all, I got to enjoy the smile on my daughters face as she opened her presents!

Nothing This Year,
Me & My honey had a set back at our jobs so couldn't
Afford anything for each other, we don't mind because
Income tax $ is around the corner❗
But we spoiled the **** out of our 2year old son,
His own little spider man car❗ & more legos for me to pick up bahaha,
♡

[TheFrogman]

I got a few gift certificates to various pet stores, I pretty much get what I at throughout the year.

[sweatshirt]

Nikon D7000 with a 18-200 VR II lens, and a book about the camera.
Soft lap desk, for my laptop.
Laptop bag.
Reverse dry erase board. It's black and has neon markers.
Heater for my room. I live in Florida so we don't have hardcore heating, and my room is always at the extremes.
Some small things like pencil holders and books.

[LadyWraith]

A Kindle paperwhite and it's corresponding case (in pink of course!), a huge griddle, a projecting alarm clock, and an Amazon gift card (which I will probably use for reptile stuff).

Ive been out all day shopping : )

Petco is selling glass tanks for $1 per gallon, I didn't buy anything because I that sale doesn't include sliding or locking tops, that's a must for me.

I do have my eye on an Indo Tree Boa and a Western Hognose.

[MDT]

Canon Rebel T3i....now I'm in the "learn how to use it" mode.

Jack Frost and his ice can suck it.

On a lighter note, family dinners are the BEST! :D

I'm jealous. All we've gotten is regular rain and one small sprinkling of snow not even enough to cover the ground weeks ago. My yard has been a puddle all year, but I guess that's just normal here. It's mostly been too warm to snow (40F-nearly 70F with occassional 10-20F days that of course resulted in no snow). It's the end of December and the temps are still wildly fluctuating. I'm still hoping for January, though.

My brother and I got $200 each from my grandparents, and my mom got $400 to help out with bills and such. I bought myself the full Harry Potter movie collection with the money, and I'm hoping to use some to go to my favorite Asian restaurant whenever the car gets fixed. I'm really wanting some sushi and frog legs right now. The motor mount broke so it isn't exactly going anywhere any time soon, but it's in line to be fixed. The rest I'll keep to help pay for snake food and stuff.

[Kera]

we have about 10 inches at least of snow here in Wisconsin. At least it's pretty.


I got a new laptop which I'm SO thankful for, and I got some new shirts and my mom put together a collage frame of all the pets I've had, the majority of the pictures of me and my girl </3, I got a few other things and my favorite: my sister bought me bert the farting hippo, from NCIS. It's so awesome. :D

[LoLzMachine]

lolz i love abbeys hippo ^^
that shows awesome

i got $250 from my mom and a new jacket and grocerys to take back up north with me

and $100 and a box of fruit loops from my dad.

i should look into buying a camera & show you guys what cold really looks like ;) -30.c without the wind chill for like weeks

Snow is fine but this ice storm caused millions in damage and sime peoples power was out for 6 days due to fallen trees on powerlines. It was very pretty but bad news.

My me to me gift - and AR 15 chambered in 5.56 :-)

I just googled and couldn't find the reverse dry erase board. Do you know where they got it from? My wife would love one!

[Pareeeee]

HTC one V android smartphone, a shirt, earrings, a sock monkey hat from my silly sister-in-law and money to use for buying tropical fish :D

Yeah, that does suck. I remember 4 or 5 years ago it snowed a ridiculous amount here and the town's power was out for 3 days, but our trailer's power was out for almost 2 weeks. Let's just say we used to live in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness for gas and wood stoves. So, yeah, I know it isn't all that fun.

[marvelfreak]

I took a week off so I could bring my baby boy home for a week. That was all I was wanting so I am very happy. Plus four days before Christmas my baby girl left her boyfriend and moved back in we us. Then I got some gift cards and some other stuff but non of it compares to having my kids home.

I am not sorry. I am actually very proud of her for standing up for herself and not letting him walk all over her. Go to show i did something right raising her.

It was really nice having Chase back home. Taking him back was hard but he was so happy to be back with his friends that he was jumping up and down with excitement. He didn't even act like he care that we were leaving. Which warms our hearts to know he likes it there that much.
