I got a gift card to Target and a box of chocolates from my mom. From my dad I got a 1 gig USB drive, a coping saw, an adjustable crescent wrench, a 100' tape measure, and a set of crescent/ratcheting wrenches. He works as an engineer for a tool manufacturer, so I end up with tools for presents every year.

So far an M-Audio Keystation 49e for noodling around in GarageBand, and some iTunes gift cards (which I can't redeem cause the store's getting hammered from everyone else who got the same thing).

Start sending any extras my way, (

I also got the coolest bear pajama bottoms in the world!

What did I get? Let's see...
I got to drive 800 miles round trip to go to a crappy Christmas Eve family get-together, I got to fix a blowout on my mom's RV in the middle of the night on the way back, and I got a rather nice riding jacket which got promptly peed on by a cat.
And socks. :p

Merry Christmas, Microwave! ;)
I got $350 which I'm supposed to spend on a Wii, but just recently decided to load up my 360 with games instead. Other than that just a few movies I've been looking forward to having.

I got a skip.

I got... clothes (very good selection this year, very well suited to me), Gift cards, (40 dollars at subway? Hell yes, I go to Uni, this is a godsend), a himalayan salt lamp thing, releases a very relaxing hue. Books on rocks, minerals and gems, as well as some absolutely gorgeous specimens I can't wait to start shaping. Some of the monah from my grandparents, as well as some Afghan dollar bills from my cousin (back from the front lines in Afghanistan), and a back massaging thing.
Truth is, watching my family unwrap their presents brought me more joy this year then me unwrapping my own. My sister and her damn Wii, my mother and her earings, my father and his massage chair and a copy of Grease. My sister also invited 2 of her international friends from China and korea) to visit. Otherwise they would be spending their chirstmas in dorms that we have around here. This, with everything else, has made this a christmas to remember.
