What Did Y'all Get For Christmas??? (1 Viewer)

I wanna brag!!!!!!!!!

I got a TDK DVD Burner and a buncha blank discs from my Sons.

My pets...2 dogs, a cat and a bird gave me:

Sinbad
Sleeping Beauty
On Golden Pond
Treasure Planet

From The Lovely Michelle I got a buncha stuff in my stocking and 2 Soft Serve Ice cream makers. One for chocolate and the other for vanilla. Now The ScootPlex 2000 can make milk shakes!!!
(I gotta thank Glenise for those..her link last year with the mini Hot Dog Cart led me to the company that makes this kinda stuff, plus I got the cart for Father's Day)

Ok..y'all's turn...

Santa brought me a 15 inch Powerbook G4 w/ Superdrive, 512 megs of RAM, 80 gig hard drive, backlit keyboard, Airport Extreme and Bluetooth, and a wireless keyboard.

My wife got me some guitar lessons and a Pronto TSU 3000!! Now just have to program it.

I got a Denon DVD910, the final two books of the LOTR series, Monster Component Cables and a few other assorted things. Unfortunately I haven't been able to use any of this yet.

Santa will be giving himself

1 or 2 pairs of Athena AF-f2 speakers.

an APC battery backup ... for when he gets a projector

a Toshiba proscan DVD player.

Santa isn't quite sure what he'll get from his elves, but it usually goes towards Santas gifts for himself.

The book Fast Food Nation

A journal

A book full of paintings

$60

I plan to buy the soundtracks to The Matrix Revolutions and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with some of that $60, and maybe save the rest or buy a DVD while I'm at it.

Christmas very, very good to me this year.

The Criterion Fassbinder trilogy and (in the mail) Ken Burn's Civil War from my wife. From the kids, a really cool portable milk shake maker and mug combined.

A fairly light Christmas presents-wise, but having said that, we've just moved house, and in the past few weeks we've bought a house (obviously), and as early Christmas presents, four new chairs, two chests, five bookcases, a portable TV with integrated DVD player, a second computer (to keep the kids out of our hair), a new patio, two futons, two new mattresses, a dishwasher, a fridge and a freezer. The joke is that I was on the radio just before Christmas being interviewed on 'has Christmas become too commercial?'.

First off Happy Holidays to all.

Very good Christmas for me. The list:

Got for myself a Memorex MMP8500 MP3/WMA player with FM tuner. 128 Meg with expandable SD slot.

The highlight of my Christmas so far (because I have several "XMas after XMas" getogethers with friends where we do gift swaps after the 25th, due to the fact that we often have to venture far from each other to visit family during this time):

Gamecube w/ Zelda disc, 2 additional controllers, Mario Party 5, Mario Kart DD, and Super Monkey Ball (this was a gift from me to the girlfriend and she back to me - she loves all things Mario and never played w/ any of the games on my XBox).

Guess what I've been doing all day...

Since I always seem to buy the latest toys (HT gear, games, movies, music, computer stuff, etc) for myself, my family got me what I always neglect to buy: clothes. It makes me think, though. Shouldn't this be the other way around? I guess I could care less about running around in ratty clothes while I have a sweet HT setup, but at least my family has things figured out for me.

Merry Christmas everyone ... and don't let all the new toys keep you from remembering what Christmas is really about.

What I got for hanukkah was:

Bedroom home theater:
Jvc receiver
Jvc Dvd player
Jbl N-series all around

pc:
Dvd burner
wireless keyboard & mouse
clone dvd/any dvd

dvds:
Alien Quadrilogy (was $90 sheesh)
Pirates of the Carribean
Bruce Almighty

poster:
another Scarface poster (huge 6'x3')

Very happy(even though I wish I could've received a projector and screen, but I'm not complaining )
