    You're lucky!

    Lesee...

    from my parents - nothing, since I never ask for anything
    my brother - not sure what he will give me

    As for me, I'll be getting myself a iPod Shuffle, some DVDs and probably the TF movie (Dreamworks, that is)

    Oh, and who in the hell would complain about getting a HD camcorder for Xmas?

    More haulage. Great Christmas, but the best part was watching people unwrap the stuff I bought them. :D

    Not a bad Christmas, but I'm still kinda bummed.

    It's not been a really good year for me and my wife this year, so I tried to make it special. I bought her (well both of us) an 80GB iPod Classic. I figured we could share it, though admittedly she'd use it more than I because she listens to music way more. I also got her a ring with her birthstone in it and a 10K White Gold necklace with a diamond in it.

    She got me... a fucking Halo 3 T-Shirt. One that doesn't fit. My wife of almost NINE years got me just a T-Shirt for Christmas--one that doesn't fit. She knows what size I wear. I'm just kinda heartbroken on the situation, I go out of my way for her this year, spend my unused personal days on her and then some, and she thinks of me enough to get me a T-shirt that doesn't fit. yay.

    I also got a US Marines T-shirt from my nephew (actually it's a bit small, but still fits better than the one my wife got me), and a $25 Walmart gift card from him. He drew my name for the secret santa this year. I'll probably wind up putting the $25 towards Mass Effect for the 360 tomorrow after I get off from work.

    Overall, I'm just bummed. It's not the fact that she got me just a T-Shirt, it's a nice shirt, but it just doesn't fit. And she knew that. And she didn't think to get me anything else. I don't know, it just bothers me.

    Most importantly though was being able to see others open the gifts my fiancee and I got for them. I guess I have kind of turned a corner because it really wasn't about me this year, yet I got more than ever. I really went out of my way to make sure that my family and friends had a most awesome and blessed Christmas...

    It's a holiday? Either that or the Toyark mods aren't talking to the GD mods.

    Lesseee....

    Nice new brown jacket
    10 pairs of boxers (you might read that and say wow that's a lot and it was)
    SWTF Obi-Wan (Not something I've ever really said oh hey I want but definitely cool as it was a surprise)
    Strings for my guitar (as well as picks and a capo, I rarely use picks and already have a capo so that's like 25 dollars towards a 12-string hehehe)
    2GB Memory Card (considering the last one I had was 512 MB... yeah this is an upgrade)
    250 GB External Hard Drive (Hurray! Now I can download music again, the legal kind of music!)
    Prime ornanment
    R2-D2 and Jawa Ornament
    Instant Lottery ticket that netted 40 bucks
    Luggage set

    So yeah... it was a decent christmas and I'm still waiting for my GF to get down to my house for the week and she knows me better than anyone and had my present picked out awhile ago apparently. (She's also the one that gave me Boxed G1 for my birthday).

    For moi:

    Talladega Knights
    New 007 Movie
    Gift Cards for EB Games, HMV and Chapters
    Money ($1,000. I was even fucking speechless).
    Clothes (of course)

    Some completely RANDOM things:

    This Dragonfly toy (essentially, a dragonfly that flaps wings and flies aorund using a remote control)

    An iPod case - I already have one. In fact, I've had it for almost 4 months now. Don't they notice?

    I didn't really like this Christmas. Didn't feel like anyone puts much thought into it anymore. My gifts got that "Oh.....I already have / don't really need this" (The Soprano's Season 1 I got my mom. She already saw most of it, and was kind of pushing me returning it and getting one of the later seasons. I lost the fucking receipt though so I'm stuck with the $80 sucker).

    Some of the gifts made me feel that no one actually knows what I like.

    I mean, most of my activities include playing video games...why not get me one of those?

    I'm not spoiled, and I'm not ungrateful. I'll use each of those gifts, and I'm glad people love me enough to buy me things that they think I will enjoy. It's just...I don't know....
