What did you get(or get yourself) for Christmas?

GutterPunk · Dec 27, 2007, 01:24 PM

I got a 900 Watt 5.1 surround sound (not much but perfect for apartment life). 47" LCD HD TV, Xbox 360 Premium, rock band, Toshiba hd-a30 +7 free HD DVDS (another 5 coming in the mail), Bourne ultimatim and transformers in hd dvd, COD4, GOW, Halo3, NCAA08, GH3 for the wii, 3 Work collar shirts, a mini keg of heineken, 300 (exchanging for pirates 3), $15 to subwar, $10 to sonic, goatee trimmer, season 1 of the office, a couple tshirts and that is it.

I had a great Christmas, as usual. Between my wife, sister, and mother, Christmas is a pretty big event in our family.

My wife got me an ipod classic 80 gig, which is pretty slick. My parent got me a great hammer drill and reciprocating saw, and my sister and her hubby got me and the wife new Trek bikes. Everything was a total surprize, as I didn't, and never do, ask for anything. The kids got the Wii from us (which was a huge hit for everyone), and Christmas all and all, was pretty laid back. Now I just have to clean the house and put away the mass of new clothing.

As an addition to my previous post...Just ordered an internal HDD dvd drive & one Pioneer SATA dvd RW -/+drive..

Both are much quiker than my current ide drives.

Tinkerhell · Dec 27, 2007, 04:18 PM

Chance to spend the day with my wife and her family (did the Christmas thing with my side the prior Saturday) that was nice. They are pretty good folks, though her dad drives me nuts.

New Kenwood stereo & Pioneer speakers for the F150 from the wife. 2gig sansa mp3 player (very small & wonderfully simple). Nice little atomic radio wrist watch thingie (I don't really wear watches but it is a good one). A very substantial amount of cash from a disbursement of my dad's estate. Misc $ and gift certs. Some new jeans. My basset hound calendar for 08 (gotta have one every year). The extended collectors edition LOR dvds (old but I've wanted it). That's about all the loot I can recall.

Geminiwave · Dec 27, 2007, 07:18 PM

I got a bunch of stuff for my new house. I'm moving into my first house see...and its HUGE. but I have basically nothing.

So I got a full dish set, full glassware set, full silverware set, baking set, a bunch of chairs, a coffee table, a new recliner, some mugs, a spice rack fully stocked (those things dont come cheap), a microwave, a toaster, a george forman grill, annndd what else...oh yeah and my girlfriend painted me this pretty awesome painting.

For my birthday (which was on the 22nd. My 21st birthday by the way! WOO!) I got a ton of alcohol, guitar hero 3, Scene It 360, Venture Bros season 1, 28 weeks Later, and a bunch of wool socks.

I made out like a bandit this year. Normally I do not. I always appreciate what i get for my birthday, but because of its proximity to christmas I ALLLWAYYYSSS get gyped..cept for this year. And the stuff is so great. Its all very nice.

Oh right and my girlfriend was going to give me copious sex but unfortunately with some of her vigorous foreplay i had to go to the doctor

it hurts...

BlueMak · Dec 28, 2007, 04:47 AM

My bday is 2 days before xmas, so I was hoping to get a Sony NWS205 - 2GB Walkman MP3 Player, a pair of KOSS KSC75 headphones and the DVD Dannii Minogue - The Complete Collection [2007].

Instead I received nothing but a huge fight with my mother (unrelated reasons) and with the money I have I am going to get a pair of Creative's EP-380 headphones.
Well, at least better bday+christmas than usual.

Judas · Dec 28, 2007, 08:00 AM
