I got:

Lots of books! The best were a book called "Fairyopolis" and three Budo books:

"The Lone Samurai: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi" by William Scott Wilson

"The Life-Giving Sword: Secret Teachings from the House of the Shogun" by Yagyu Munenori, translated by W. Scott Wilson

"Soul of the Samurai: Modern Translations of Three Classic Works of Zen and Bushido" by Thomas Cleary

Clothes, a doll for my collection, a fun scarf that does neat things(You can wear it several different ways.) and a neat large music box that plays special music disks and has moving dancers inside of it. Very pretty!

I also got a box of large Pocky. Literally, it's huge! I never knew Pocky could come so huge... hahaha!

Oh, and of course, I got a stocking with some neat things in it. It's a tradition in our family. Even the adults get stockings!

I didn't get any Kendo things this year, but the books were awesome!
