this year as usual, we got a sweeet haul. being married means we get abit more gifts as 'to Tina & Stian' instead of individual gifts. But since those are mostly decorative, i think its better that way XD
from Joco this year we got a pair of fun wine cups! its made of plastic, and a click of a button at the underside of the cup changes the stand color XD it has 7 colors to choose from, or just flashes all 7.
then from 'the cats', i got strawberry soap XD when i opened it i turned to yell at the cats jokingly 'do i stink ?!'. but i do like nice smelling soaps. :)
from alex i got a very nice leather wallet, a korean brand based in italy. i told him how there's supposed to be cash in it XD but i got to fill it up very soon, with robert's sister giving me and alex 400 nkr, and grandparents giving us 1k nkr :P i think thats an upgrade for being married, woohoo XD my hubby made the correct decision by telling me to keep the money in my wallet.
from 'santa' we all received socks XD. I actually forgot to take a picture of alex's! bah. his is hilarious because it has the words 'jingle my bells' and a picture of bells on it. it led to a few other jokes this xmas especially since he received an electric shaver from me and jokingly read it out loud as an intimate shaver. all the better to jingle his bells i'm sure. then he got a hilarious pair of boxers from mary and me, that has the words 'swing on my pole' on the crotch XD.anyway, my sock.
and if you dont believe the sock from santa, you OBVIOUSLY dont know me well V_Vraymond gave me and alex a really cool (and annoying!) gift. its a complex maze with one little metal ball!! its hard enough just to get the metal ball on the maze ! hilde got one from him too, so i guess we'll be spending some hours on it XD
hilde also got me a very nice sweater :D i'm really glad because i'm too cheap to buy my own sweater in norway ( ebay is cheaper :P plus i have something against spending physical cash i think) and i actually need warmer clothes. i have a BAD habit of buying clothes that suit singaporean weather instead. bad habit! i shall take my chances on buying some warmer clothes next week when the post xmas sales hit. 50-70% off. BUY AHHHHanyway, hilde also has the same sweater XD would be funny if we wore it out together, i'm sure mary would be highly amused!
next, i got a highly amusing gift from mary and robert- a picture of them XD behind it they wrote, after translating, 'from dear mother in law and dear father in law'. this year, they gave us four 'kids' cash as well. raymond's was hidden in a can of peas that was filled with chocolate. hilde's was in a can of pickup sticks XD alex's was hidden in an old game. Mine.. in the back of the picture XD.... so i was the only clueless idiot who totally didnt notice everyone else got cash but me. and everyone had a good laugh when i was like 'O.o huh?? really?!'. but i found it pretty quick so i'm one smart cookie. *modest*
one of the gifts from mary included purple cotton stockings with nice patterns on it :D cant wait to use it, since its a warmer winter i can wear stockings and dresses or mini skirts hohoho
from Lilo, i got a giant kinder egg XD i do love the kinder chocolates, they taste so good! inside it was a xmas themed puzzle.
i also received a luxuriously soft purple bathrobe which i'm wearing right now because its actually warm too XD. ohhhhhhhhh i loooooooooooooooooooove.
robert's sister packed our cash in an interesting card. i really like the birds, just gotta find a nice frame to somehow frame it up now. will need mary's help on that i think
yet another gift from mary and robert! this is probably one of the more useful things i've gotten this xmas. mary confessed that alvin had remarked in summer that this would be useful for me, so she got me one too XD cant wait to test it out, can actually use it as an old school organizer and it even has games XD...
my other gift from alex was a jacket, black of course. the quilting pattern is quite shallow so it doesnt show up that well. i think i will use a biggr belt on it :) finally a jacket that is waterproof :P its been quite rainy so i think i'll be using this more often this year!
i also received another jacket (purple!) from mary and robert. goodness, damn spoiled this year. but mary saw me ooo-ing over this jacket and got it :P . its my only jacket with a hoodie i think XD.... and guess what? its a size -S-. ahhh i'm a size -S- despite all the xmas weight! X) 
now to fully understand what 4 hours of unwrapping gifts is, you need to look at the final scene!
voila!
since raymond bought two catnip concentrate fishy toys, xmas eve was spent getting 5 cats high on catnip XD Max was excluded because he wasnt around very much, cleverly hiding off somewhere.
and one of tobias who gets quite ... talkative? whiny? when high on catnip XD.
cant wait for the 27th, Hilde has told us of a christmas shop that is having a 50% storewide sale and it has cupcake ornaments so i HAVE to go! ohhhhh i'm so excited especially since i now have the means to shop abit X) squeeeeee!!!
lastly, there is chances of a hurricane here today. robert says its not dangerous as long as you're not outside. right now the ocean looks like a mess with high waves and strong winds. i get a good view of the ocean from the top floor here hehe. just need to look left while typing.
thats all for now!
CANT WAIT TO GO SHOPPINNNNGGGG
