What Did You Buy Used for Christmas?

I am thinking back to Christmas and what a wonderful time our family had.  We truly enjoyed each other.  This year was not about and over abundance of gifts but more about time spent with the ones that you love.  This past Christmas I feel like we truly accomplished that. 

What did I buy used for Christmas?  A couple of the large toys for my little ones were used.  My youngest likes to play with trains.  Yes, grandma purchased him an adorable little wooden magnetic train set by Melissa & Doug.  It had 9 in a wooden case.  So I went ahead and purchased him a used set of train tracks.  As so many parents know.  These can be pretty costly brand new.  So it was worth saving the money.  Not only saving money but in being less of a consumer.

My New Pyrex

I decided that I don't want to deal with plastic anymore. With all the articles that have been out about how certain plastics are dangerous, I decided to go back to glass. I told my mom that I was interested in getting some pyrex. Well guess what? She ended up offering me hers. Well one of her sets. She said she had 3 sets! It's not new, it's a green and yellow set. But it's new to me! I'll see if I can post a pic later.
