Almost all the presents I got were my favorite!

~ A set of really smooth gel pens

~ A brand-new journal

~ A CD of Chopin's études played by Zlata Chocheiva

~ A very thick book of piano solos

~ Plush and colorful yarn

~ Earrings that are white gold (the only ones I can wear, because I found out the hard way that I am alergic to a lot of metals...)

~ A cute copper bracelet with a single shinny grey stone.

~ A HUGE jewlery organizer.

~ And a whole lotta chocolate.

I never thought I would say this, but I have WAY TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE. I got a large tub full of caramel chocolates from my best friend, a large gift bag full of expensive European chocolates, plus all of my stocking stuffers, which was almost 90% chocolate. Everyone knows I love chocolate, so everyone gave me chocolate! Come spring, I'm still going to be eating all my chocolate....XD

 

Well, you could share some of your chocolate overload with family and friends. We got a lot at our house, too!

I'll help you eat some of your chocolate!!!!!! I'm happy to see that someone else had piano books on their Christmas list too. I got a West Side Story one! Yay! Now I drive my family crazy playing America and I Feel Pretty and Somewhere (my faves). This Christmas, my very special gift was a wonderful refurbished laptop that's all my own! Now that I'm in high school with lots more essays and projects, I needed a computer that I don't share with my siblings. I don't think my parents were counting on how many more opportunities I'd have to chatterbox and watch Merlin though :P

My cousin, Queen Elizabeth, who knows me so very well, got me a shirt that says: "breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, supper," on it. And my friend (formerly Cloudy Dweller on the CB) got me all sorts of amazing stuff including a Studio Ghibli shirt!!!! Yay!!! My siblings also got me a TON of stuff (awwwww so sweet) ranging from candles (garden rain and cranburry manderin, yummy!) to movies (X-men and The Hobbit yayyyy) to soundtracks (The Nutcracker and WSS mixtape!). I also got a new set of art suplies which I have been experimenting with endlessly, and this beautiful apron that looks so writerly/artisty!!! It has a bunch of teacups stacked up on it in a haphhazard but beautiful way, and a bunch of saucers with paintbrushes and pencils, and it says "tea time." 

And my grandparents got me a poetry book and goat socks :P

I'm kind of obsessed with my goats. I love my little babies soooo much!

PIPPIN CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

@LilyPad: OH my gosh, Northern Lights is one of my favorite books in the world!! In America it's called The Golden Compass for some reason, but it's the same book. This summer I got my grandmother and two of my cousins into that series, so YAY! And for Hannakah my grandma got me the first part of the new equal to the series: The Book of Dust. It is AMAZING! Tell me how you like The Golden Compass/ Northern Lights!

So, my favorite presents:

-The Book of Dust (as I already mentioned)

-The Complete Sherlock Holmes, vol. 2 (Because I've been quite obsessed with Sherlock Holmes since August and have reading through all the stories. I highly recommend them!)

-My best friend got me a felt succulent making kit because I have almost killed my (living) succulent. They do not make as much sense as normal plants, appearently. 

-A new leotard (Because, let's face it, no gymnast would ever say no to a new leo)

I loved all of my presents, but if I had to pick a top three, they would be:

-The Anastasia Songbook (Vocal and Piano Arangements from one of my favorite musicals, Anastasia)

- A little succulent, a custom t-shirt, and a Poe Dameron Pop! Figure from my friends.

- And A book titled MUSICALS from my parents, which is a big timeline of some of the biggest hits on Broadway!

I also got a lot of lotion this year, which was pretty great
