Dear Head-Fi'ers,
 
I personally thought it would be interesting to know what people here on Head-Fi.org got/gave for Christmas from their family, friends, colleagues, etc. 
If you want you can also describe the actual (special) procedure or background.
Pictures are also welcome.
 
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
 
Your sincerely,
 
TheDreamthinker
 
P.S.: Shouldn't be seen as an insult of and kind. Even if you don't celebrate christmas (are not christian)....
....i myself am not too much a fan of christmas / new year myself that's why for me, it is more about giving people attention and showing that you thought of them, rather than the actual price of the present....

I will start of then....
 
I gave:
 
- a cutlery set by Villeroy & Boch
- a small vase by Rosenthal
- a small porcelain elephant by Goebel 

(the elephant by Goebel)

(many people i know, like porcelain & tableware)
 
 
I got:
 
- a Shirt by Emporio Armani
- a Scarf by Armani Jeans
 
- not much or expensive, but it makes people happy -

I like that porcelain Elephant, my first guess was that it was by the sadly deceased Govinder.

No, it should represent happiness, if i am not mistaken.

Govinder was an artist who died in a car crash.

I gave all my friends a family a message that there is no better time than now to appreciate each other and to be happy with each others company.
 
And my family and friends gave me a message that they wished I wasn't so cheap and hopefully next year I will buy them a present.
