We bought our children a Wii. The nice thing too is that every game that our daughters already had for their other systems works on this system. They have been playing some of their games most of the day.
I got a very nice and large (Brazilian-made) martial arts bag for carrying my karate and BJJ gis and other training gear. I've been wanting this particular 'monster' bag for quite some time. I also got a few DVDs (Dark Shadows: The Revival; Twister; etc.).
I've purchased so much for myself this pas year that I did not ask for, nor receive, any DVDs for Christmas. I got a new chair for my computer desk as my "old faithful" chair broke after 20+ years of service. This is the first time in *years* I've not received *any* new DVDs or CDs for Christmas. I *did* get a Big Lots gift card so I'll be skulking around there a bit more looking for DVD bargains...
