I wasn't really surprised. Since neither of them can afford expensive or extravagant items, my Mom and my daughter always choose things for me that they think I will like or can use. I'm always thankful and humbled to have family that loves me.
I got the new Stephen King book Revival. Now to find the time to read it !!!
I got a beautiful, single silver pearl necklace and matching earrings from hubby and some fluffy new bath towels and a new set of dishes from the oldest son, pictures and cards from the younger kiddos. 
The best present was that it was a quiet, peaceful day, no drama. (Of which there has been entirely too much of this year.) Just good food and the company of my husband, kids and grandchild, lots of laughs and warmth to go around. Phone calls to my parents and sister, we will be going home to visit them in a few weeks.
Was a really great day.

My brother-in-law was able to make it back for Christmas. He lives in Arizona but used to live out here when he was first married to my wife's sister. We keep in touch via email, but when we all met at my mother-in-law's house yesterday in Missouri, it was good to see him. Instead of a handshake, John, grabbed me in a bear hug and told me how he missed talking to me. I told him the same. We pretty much stayed in the same corner of the living room all of Christmas Day talking. He's a firearms aficionado, military history buff, etc, and I had forgotten how interesting it was talking to him. It was very good to see him. I think his wife and mine were a bit peeved that we spent all day talking to one another..lol, He even talked about finding a job back around Arkansas somewhere, but I don't think that will happen. All in all, seeing him made it a special Christmas definitely. Hope everyone had a good one.

Sounds great! How did the performances go?
Perfect! Thanks for asking. He's in the bell choir and he also sang a solo, Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle, which is an Italian Christmas song.
Sounds like you have one talented guy there. Sure sounds like a keeper!
Oh, I know that song! How wonderful! I am sure you were proud!
By the way, forgot to say: I got a nice pair of earrings and had to go on a small treasure hunt for one of my gifts.
And I also finally have Revival! Yeay!
