Me and my mother have sort of cheated and decidedly spread out our Christmas gifts for each other over the course of the entire week, so I didn't really have anything to open this morning. Nevertheless, I've gotten some lovely presents this year:
The Secret Garden calendar. I've currently got the 2010 one stuck up on my wall and it's just lovely.
A $25 B&N gift card which I've already bought two books with this morning.
Four books (I ordered five, but 'True Grit' was on backorder) which I got with a $50 Borders gift card from my mum.
An AMAZING electric kettle that brews tea perfectly. It's the most brilliant gift I've gotten.
A necklace made by my Harry Potter Secret Santa that I was matched with over on Tumblr. (I got my Secret Santa a silk Hufflepuff banner, a nonfiction Harry Potter book and a Deathly Hallows necklace.)
And last but not least, the most breathtaking and expensive gift I've EVER gotten, which I'm absolutely in love with and I won't even get until mid-January:
The Canon Rebel T1i EF-S IS SLR WITH EF-S 55-250 MM f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens.
HOT. DAMN.
Merry Christmas.
To me.
