What did you get for Christmas?

[nemelek]

I'll start.
Some fishing gear. Every thing I need, I own. Everything I want costs too much. Probably will buy a few after X-Mass sale items.

[xray scatter]

COD World at War, XBox Live card, and a new MacBook laptop:thumbup:!!!!!

[BailOut]

From my wife I received a money clip designed by a local artist and stamped at a local mint from silver that was mined locally under Best Management Practices, and which was sold by a small operation at a local historical landmark. I will use this item because I quit carrying a wallet years ago due to it irritating my sciatic nerve on that side, but keeping items loose in my front pocket meant that things like credit card signatures and such got rubbed off quickly, and that the items sometimes got jumbled. It is a small thing that I will appreciate for years to come. :smile:

From my in-laws I received a $50 Stein Mart gift card along with a $10 off of $50+ coupon. This is not my normal kind of shop but one thing I have been meaning to get is a waterproof but breathable windbreaker to take snowboarding on the "blue bird" days. In the past I have only had my parka and while it rocks the gnarly weather it is simply too thick to be effective on the warmer days.

[ChinoCharles]

I got clothes, shoes, a new coat and Magellan navi for my YARIS! :biggrin:

[Jochen]

I got a Good Guy doll :smile:

[talnlnky]

Not fully sure what I got yet.
I am 500miles away from the family, only got 1 gift yet.

Looking like the family got my giftcards to best buy, I'm expecting a total of around $200-250. Will come in handy, I broke my digital camera and need something good for my trip to Ireland.

GF has a gift, but I told her I'd wait till she got back to open it. No clue what it is.

So... regardless, Probably looking at a Sony W150+bag+mini-tripod+4gb card

[Black Yaris]

From my mom-in-law I got a trunk organizer for the Yaris and a blank to have in the car.

[KCALB SIRAY]

I got to see my son really enjoy his Christmas, even though he was sick. It was the first time we did the whole milk and cookies thing for Santa too. The looks of happiness and laughs of joy were the greatest gift I got this Christmas.

[nemelek]

Almost nothing. I asked someone for socks and didn't even get those.

[Gideon]

you know its BluRay that won right ? you gonna have some expensive collectibles soon as no one is supporting the HD format anymore. Not trying to be a smartass or anything

Maybe he wanted another player to play his HD-DVDs before they disappeared completely? It's not his HD-DVDs are going to stop working in a few months.

I picked one up myself on the cheap since my 360 w/HD drive is in another room. HD-DVDs still hold movies and can be found for almost nothing at retailers. (I pick up HD-DVDs every so often for around $10 in most cases)

[GeneW]

Gift cards and cash. I'm not from a sentimental people.

Honestly, I could care less for Blue Ray. With the economy the way it is, I don't feel like paying any more for movies. I would have asked for a PS3 instead but I wanted other titles that you can't get with the PS. I don't think that they'll phase out that quickly. I mean, you can still find new VHS of not necessarily the movies that are out now, but new copied that are like 7 bucks.

When the economy goes back up, then I'll worry about that. Then again, I like to get stuff late since my paychecks suck .. for now. I mean hey, I just got an XBox 360.

Oh and PK, you are a smart ass .... I keed I keed!

The only thing is that technology is moving too fast, that sometimes I wonder if we should revert back to basics because of two things .. 1) It's like hey look what I got, then next week, something new and improved comes out which means that you have to spend more money to keep up with the times, but you don't have that money to spend (good example is the TV digital change) .. and 2) if something cataclysmic were to happen to the world, a small amount of people would survive since everyone relies on electronics and computers (lol the Mayan calendar says we have barely have 4 years). That's why I get my dosage of Man vs. Wild and Survivor Man.

But now that I have COMPLETELY gotten off of subject ... WHAT DID EVERYONE ELSE GET?!

[talnlnky]

lol dirty american... hope u got ur alch retention level up....hah

not at all... I've barely drank in the past 12 months... a beer about once a month... and half a bottle of wine about as often.

[ZING]

Got cash, and a pen from a very generous friend.
