function getsession(){
var data = $.get('../session', function(data)
{
return data;
});
return data;
}
alert(getsession());
returns [object Object]
I want it to return the data from the GET.

try this instead
function getAndProccessSession(){
$.get('../session', function(returnedSessionData)
{
console.log(returnedSessionData);
});
}

Since the function passed $.get is executed asynchronously after the HTTP request is finished, you can't get a return variable.
After $("#openSession").append(data), you could also alert(data).

if you want to see the data and your using firefox maybe some others you can use
alert(getsession().toSource());
that way you can see the object that your getting back but if you know the data items you can target them direct
alert(getsession().someItemInTheObject);

if you are using google chrome you can do a console.log(getsession()) within your code and then press ctr+shift+c to open google chrome dev tools, then go to the console tab, you can see the object there and you can click it to view its internal properties values
