Well, I got a nice new root canal and crown for my Xmas.

Hubby got a new laptop (since his hard-drive failed last week).

We were not going to get each other anything in the beginning because we were shifting the money to my son who just moved into his first home. Coming from a townhouse, where maintenance was done by the landlord, he needs a lawn mower, and tools, etc. So we are postponing his lawn mower until spring, when money will be better (taxes come due in Dec here).
I got him some small things and chocolate and we will be giving a small check for him to use as he wants.

Fortunately, our retirement money has rebounded back so we can now dip into that if we need to. I am tempted to cash some out and keep in my mattress...given the scare we just had!
