how sad is this, i'm even posting on christmas day. i just opened my presents and i got a ton of office stuff. it's so cool!! I got a dwight bobblehead, a poster of dwight with his acrostic poem of his name, a t-shirt with jim on it and the first season dvd.

i was just wondering what everyone else got for the holidays, and if they recieved any mentionable office themed gifts.

happy holidays, and merry christmas!

You beat me to the punch, WhitestSneakers! (jk)


Anyway, I got poster of Dwight also, only mine is from the fire when he is standing like Superman. I also got a mani/pedi set and lots of CDs and iTunes downloads.

So, all you Dunder-Mifflinites, what was the worst thing you got (ever) and the best thing you got (ever)?




MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got insulted. my family since i have nothing else of importance to do today since im the only one who isnt married I can do the clean up after everything...ive refused to open any gifts nowlol But i still love my office dvds i got and my made up dunder mifflin letterhead my friend made me

coal

I got a couple sweaters and other small gifts because my big gift was money. I also got a copy of American Recordings V by Johnny Cash (can't wait to listen to it!).

I was at my parents' house last night. We were sitting around the tree and my nephew was passing out gifts, but none of them were mine Everyone else had 3, 4, 5 packages or more. I was beginning to think that sammy57 had been a very bad girl.

Finally, there was one tiny little box with my name on it, and in it was the most exquisite gold and green agate Celtic knot pendant that my parents brought back from Ireland. Just beautiful.

^Yay! Jewelry!

And Roy, is that the best thing you got, or the worst? It's hard to tell with you.

Clothes, starbucks gift cards, and books

I GOT PHOTOSHOP!!! Hmmm, now I just have to learn how to use it.

Uh oh . . . GP got Photoshop, danger danger! Think of all the trouble you can get into with Office screen caps, avatars, . . . .oh, yeah, and it's great for your own pictures too. Have fun!

i got the new nintendo wii...books...a winter jacket i've been needing and wanting! gift certificates for clothes...it was a good christmas at out house!

Sounds like some one totally rocked the house and got you the best present you've ever gotten, DwightIsMyHero! Did any one pull a Creed and get you an old shirt?

I got lots of abercrombie clothes, I got a SAWEET Sandisk Sansa, I already have like 12 Office episodes on it, and songs, I also got Victoria's Secret Heavenly, the Dwight Bobblehead, and lots of other neat little things like jewelry...

yes.

my cousins give the worst gifts ever.

(i'm not kidding, they really did give me an old used shirt)

I finally got an external hardrive, I go to hook it up, and it doesn't work. My dad and I fiddle around for a few hours and still can't get it to work. Makes me so angry. calling the people tomorrow.

Sound like a great Christmas! Oh and ShortBusDriver, I've gotten Old Spice Soap-on-a-Rope (and I'm a girl) so I totally win THAT game! Anybody else get some crappy gifts?

Well, I asked for a new life... but, I've still got the same old crummy life I had yesterday. I guess I'm going to have to change it myself! Maybe I'll start a New Year's Resolution thread?

I'm sorry. No Hearty Bowl of Jan for you. Broken gifts can be soooo frustrating

Office related, I got 2 of the calenders, and I got the polka dot shirt from Urban Outfitters that Angela wore in GWH, it is now officially my "Angela shirt."

Oh and my cousins and I converted two new flans by making them watch "The Injury" this morning...it's a Christmas miracle!

Yay an oven mitt! Woohoo for an oven mitt! For getting 3 office shirts!

I really liked that shirt- along with Pam's sweater in The Merger. I have Christmas money so I might check into that.....

The worst thing was I got the stomach virus the day before Christmas eve and so didn't get to celebrate yet with my family. The bright side is that I still have that to look forward to. Worst gift so far is some slippers that are two sizes too big, the best present is the diamond bracelet I bought myself as consolation (I never take chances :-) The very best, though, was being on Christmas day with old friends I'd not seen in a long time and sharing some terrific laughs and memories. That's what it's all about.

I got a cute coat, sweaters, movies (step up, superman returns, GG season 6, grey's season 2, john tucker), jewlery, perfume and gift cards.

Nothing extremely special, but I like everything all the same.

A new workout outfit
Some gift cards
A Dunder Mifflin T-Shirt
A Dunder Mifflin Dundee Award Winner Mug
An Office Key Chain with Steve Carrell phrases on it (LOVE IT!) My favorite phrase "This is an environment of welcoming - and you should just get the **** out!"

A new DVD player
winning $400.00 at the new casino that just opened by my house (and that was on the PENNY machine!)

and of course an office related gift: a George Foreman combo! a mini toaster oven and a mini grill - with a card from my future brother in law that says "Foreman grills are not step stools" and a picture of Michael inside. i love it!

I got 3 pink sweaters, which is odd. Also a bunch of other cute clothes. But most importantly:
A "Ainbowray OnnectionCay" mug
"I (heart) Jim Halpert" t-shirt
The Office Calendar
Fancy New Beesly t-shirt (my very favorite, of course)

I got a Dwight Bobblehead!

My grandma didn't get me anything. She said she thought I would be in Florida so she "didn't bother to shop for [me]" (direct quote).

Anyway, I did get four Led Zeppelin cd's, the british Office complete series box set thing, and Little Miss Sunshine, so that was nice.

We didn't get to see my Nana though because her old folks home is on quaranteen right now and they aren't letting anyone in or out. So far she hasn't caught whatever it is that is spreading but on Saturday the people who sat with her at breakfast, the people who sat with her at lunch, and the people who sat with her at dinner all ended up getting sick later. She may be a carrier but she isn't showing any signs of being sick so let's hope that continues.

from one person who isn't even a fan of the show, i got two office t-shirts and season one and two on dvd...

best christmas ever.

iPod nano
Arrested Development season 3
The Office season 2!!!!!

-a gift card to the mall from my uncle
-office dvd season 2
- candy
-a fondue maker(from a family friend)
-movie gift vouchers
from my mom......the bad stuff....

-a light bulb...a plain light bulb
-a travel size tube of hand lotion
-a bottle of regular baby powder

before xmas she did let me buy with her credit card boots mind you i got them on sale for 25 bucks.lol
so i have no idea why she actually wrapped up those things, it made me feel so bad actually.

Some coMeDian sent twelve boxes of instant potato pancake mix and a steel spatula to me.

That beats 69 Cup o' Noodles anyday.

How nice, you can use those imMeDiately.

I'm very happy that this year I only got two pairs of socks.

LOL Sometimes it does. What a treasure to receive! I have a favorite Royal Doulton called "Christmas Morn" which my MIL gave me a few years ago after about 20 years of hinting ....

From my true love (Mr. Ultra_Temp) and friends and family I received:

White gold earrings, a jingle bell bracelet, a $1 winning lottery ticket, a Target gift card, a musical egg ornament, Hickory Farms cheeses, and partridge-less Harry & David pears.

No Office loot, but there are more gifts to come when my parents visit for the New Year holiday.

Dude, LZ is one of my all time favorite bands. I like Zeppelin II the best.

I must have been very good this year! I got a Dwight bobblehead and an 80GB video ipod. I really, really, really wanted both. I'm still staring at the ipod wondering if its really in my hand or a figment of my imagination. Meanwhile, I keep tapping Dwight's head.

On a more sappy note, I got one more Christmas with my grandpa. Every year he's still with us is a miracle.

I got a very cute framed picture of my 7 month old niece, tons of Bath and Body Works lip shines, a few shirts and a cute black sweater, necklace, watch, 2 books, tools and a tool box, hat, money and CHOCOLATE!!!!

OOOooooo!!!!!! I'm going to try not to hate you! I'm so jealous you got your iPod! (and that your g-pa is still around. I got all teary-eyed last night at my family Christmas party because we were watching home videos of my grandparents when they were still alive.)

I'm just this much *holds hands as far apart as they go* jealous of you right now . my Dwight bobblehead broke. But we super-glued his head back on though.

I sit here typing this while eating a frozen poptart. I just got home froom my vacation out east, and I didn't have a computer(or cable for that matter). We have no food in the house, but I need to tell you guys this.

One of my presents was a Dwight bobble head. I had to open it right away. When I got it open, it was in two pieces; head and body. I was like, "How do you put this together?" I finally relised it was broken. Poor decapitated Dwight! I'm going to get a new one, but it might take some time.

I have to go get some food now. Good to be back.

I got the hebrew hammer on dvd....it schweet...everything else is just gift cards and coupons except for a remote boat....

Santa brought me seasons 1 and 2 of The Office along with a GI Joe for my husband.

I'd asked for a shredder to kill all those old bills that are hanging around but I hadn't mentioned that I really wanted the Staples' model. But, ta da ... I got the Staples version. Now I can make really good salad

Got a new computer and highspeed DSL. Yes and double Yes ! Now I can join the 21st century and maybe it won't take forever now to log on and post to the message board.

I just got some clothes and some gift cards. Didn't really want that much this year.

the highlights (i was a very good girl this year!)
From my soon-to-be hubby:
30GB iPod (white)
Panasonic Car Headunit with iPod hookup
From my parents:
7.2 MP Sony Cybershot digital camera
New desk chair! (this was desperately needed as my old one was very uncomfortable)
New Violin case for my great-grandfather's violin that i recently inherited


Office-Related:
Black "The Office" t-shirt with "Petty behavior, zero productivity, all in a day's work" on the back

Cool about the violin. Is this the chair you got?


I got 2 big things:
Nordic Walking Poles
Ipod clock radio

I LOVE the ipod clock radio! Here is the best feature: when the alarm goes off, the music starts out realy soft, then the volume gradually increases. That way you aren't having the crap scared out of you when you are so rudely awakened by Blaring Manilow. That always puts me in a bad mood. I really thrive under the gentle waking method. And today's song was The Ainbow-ray Onnection-cay. How can life get any better?
