I got...
Fountain Pen books, a telephone book, Lindt Chocolate (which is WAY better than Godiva...and costs WAY less!), a Lamy Safari fountain pen, a Sheaffer Touchdown FP with a Canadian nib, some GREAT Noodler's ink in black and Manhattan Blue (which is an Art Brown exclusive!), some board games, and a 4 gigabyte "thumb drive."
My aunt gave me her high school graduation gift, too: a 1974 Smith-Corona Coronamatic 2200 typewriter. I can't wait to get it home!
I bought myself all of the vacuums I saw, which totals to two. A Hoover Quick-Broom "Edge Cleaner," and my personal favorite, an Electrolux model L. I can't wait to get those home. I think I will ship them.
A lot of this stuff I bought for myself as gifts to myself. I figured (and I was right) that my parents were not going to get me any vacuum cleaners. Maybe I can continue to ask them for my birthday and/or Christmas next year. However, there were a few nice people who gave me early Christmas presents! For example, I got a fantastic Lux model AE, some Rainbow parts, and a GE Roll-Easy. And ya'll know who you are!!
So I had a great Christmas! I just can't wait to use all of these awesome things! A lot of these things are just so cool, and so meaningful, because my aunt's grandmother had (they think) the same Electrolux as I got. Pretty neat!
