Pentax Q with the 01 prime and 02 zoom. From myself to myself actually.

And from the family some rather expensive cooking gear I don't really have a use for any more - occasionally I wish people would actually listen to what I say.

So It might be like Christmas present for me because I've bought Pentax K-5 II and SMC Pentax-FA 43mm F1.9 Limited from Black Friday Pentax Lens and Camera Deals in order to replace my lovely K20D and it's a XMas mirracle that package arrived just in time (I'm from Ukraine

) yesterday.

Me too, Mano!

My mother, with a penchant for "fairness", bought all the ladies a VS gift card. Firstly, I've NEVER liked VS. Secondly, they don't sell one darn thing in their store that fits the size I've been since nursing my children. (They didn't have anything that fit my sister either until after her reduction.) So she basically gave me soap for Christmas. That I'm allergic to.

She also, continuing the theme of fairness, gave my oldest son, who is 14.5, a pop gun & a nerf gun just like all the other boys. The next oldest is 11. Now, he at least still likes nerf guns & will still shoot his brother and cousin in a nerf war. The pop gun? Destined for a drawer.

Here's my list to this point :
VS gift card from my mom
Pentax K-5ii, 35mm, 50mm, Light scoop, PSE from "Sandy Claws" to me

I will turn it a little... that I gave my girlfriend:

and the last day at work before Christmas I had a little happiness, in a job raffle I have pulled the number 14, and that's it:

Samsung 55"

and under the Christmas tree I found only one gift for photographer - book from Scott Kelby

I got the 2013 Nexus 7 this year and what a little beauty it is. It has a beautiful screen and is fast and powerful. The voice command feature is really nifty. My first Android device and I'm really loving it.

First, we stuffed ourselves silly on crab legs. Then presents, Christmas Eve.

The boyfriend got me a K3 a couple of months ago, so that was my big Christmas present. But he also got me some portable reflector thingies and a cleaning kit. His Mom got me a Dolica tripod, which is so much better than my old one it's astounding. I got myself a Sigma 70mm macro a few weeks ago.

The BF got jeans, khakis, shoes, a 2014 version of the calendar he likes, a pile of junk food (which is all he asked for) and some straps to keep the bedsheets in place, which he excitedly went to put on the bed.

Also new water shoes for when we go kayaking and more junk food from his Mom.

The nearly-MIL got a squirrel proof bird feeder (and it is, I have one myself) and a 10 pound bag of sunflower nutmeats.

I sympathize. They don't carry my size either.

You can probably trade that card for a gift card somewhere more practical. Or save it and re-gift it back to Mom next year!
