A while ago I had idea for a t-shirt; not only did my brother get it printed for me, but he designed it better than I ever could have:

Can I please get one of these?

I will pay you in your canadian dollars.

I DID NOT GET MUCH.

Only a Lee-Enfield No 4 Mk1 and a gift card of an undisclosed amount.

I'll echo the sentiments of "not a lot" since as I seem to grow older, the volume/type of presents I receive has somewhat diminished.

I have, however returned to London from Glasgow with three rather swish Ted Baker shirts and ties for work; to go with my super-brand-new suit and shoes I intend on buying this week courtesy of my parent's Christmas spirit.

My brother passed me a nice set of Shure earphones (yes, i realise that goes against my comments in the mp3/headphone thread, but dammit these Shure phones are so pretty) along with Force Unleashed for the XBOX which I've been dying to play recently.

Oh, and what seems to be a large gut from all the food/beer/doritos/chocolate/irn bru I've consumed this past week.

Onwards to the gym and crackers fellow Lanterns!

I don't have the design, but if I did, and I gave it away, then I wouldn't be unique anymore.

You'll be continentally unique! :(

edit: still jealous

I didn't really get it for christmas, because I paid for it, but it was because a local music store was going out of business.

I've been wanting to get a synth guitar for a couple years now and I'm finally able to do it.

This will turn my guitar playing into Midi using a divided Pickup where each string has its own pickup.

I think it worked out really well.. And i cant wait to start screwing around with it, I'm just short the cable to plug the 2 together.

The technology isn't new, but the possibilities are kind of endless when coupled with (http://cycling74.com/products/maxmspjitter/) MaxMSP.

I got, like some folks, not a lot in the way of material giftage at Christmas. This was because I was stuck at my home away from home to attend a friend's wedding. But love and chocolates would count for something, I guess? :D

Now that I'm vacationing for a bit, apart from clothes and other very practical but unfrivolous gifts, I got some extra dosh and the requisite parts for that new PC I've been hankering after since earlier this year. I'll be putting it all together in a day or two, sooo - assemblage ahoy! :)
