Christmas hits and flops

No flops this year!

Hits were the Disney plushes that my sister and I both sneaked back for each other from Disneyland! I gave her a princess Minnie (as she NEEDED a princess hat from Disneyland when she was 5) and she gave me a small black and white Mickey and Minnie (as I collect Mickey stuff).

My Pandora earrings from my Mum were also a hit, as was the Coles Myer giftcard from my aunt (it can be used at various department stores and a supermarket).

As usual, the presents from my hippy cousin were a miss, especially the seriously creepy Dia De Los Muertes painting she gave my sister (whose room she hasn't seen in about 10 years). We were all too freaked out by it to even keep it in the house overnight!

Alas, the iPad mini keyboard case my Mum gave me was also a miss - the H I N Y 7 and , keys didn't work! The replacement (that I paid a bit extra for) is much better though!

Hits: My daughters obsessed with Shopkins so Santa got her that and she was super happy . My son wanted Legos & 3DS. Major hits.

Flops: Luckily, there wasn't much the kids don't play with or use.

DH loved the laptop I got him.
Both teen boys loved their gift cards, cash, clothes and calendars.
I loved the Shark vacuum my parents' got me. Couldn't believe how much crud came out of the rug with a decent vacuum.

My brother decided our family needed a Twinkie maker. He said it was meant to be a gag gift, but he expects a sample from the first batch. So far, it's still tucked safely in the box. A Twinkie maker? Seriously?

Someone brought one of those in for our work dirty santa

Actually, this was a great Christmas this year. Nearly everything was a hit.

DS's underwear rotfl2 was the wrong size. No returning that. And DD had left an Xbox game on her Amazon list that she'd bought after her birthday in July, so I'm having to return it.
