The Official "What I got for Christmas 2005" Thread

I got:

Electrical Engineers' Clock (clock with various electronic components all over it)
Chess set
And my favorite, an unexpected $150 gift card to the Apple Store :D.

I'm not sure whether to save the gift card to put towards the Mac mini that I'm going to buy in January (assuming it's updated) or to go buy something like a 2 GB nano.
 
along with the camera mentioned earlier.

a 1gig SD card.
a bathrobe.
some shirts.
a sweater.
boxers.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory DVD
Hot Topic gift card.

Hey, is that a Patrick Roy jersey, or a different Roy?
 
I got several nice shirts, a nice sweater, and a lamp. :)
I recently bought a new bed and new furniture for my bed, but I hadn't found a bedside lamp that matched the new style. My best friend gave me one for Christmas, and it looks great!! :D

Patrick Roy. My gf got it for me, which was waaaay unexpected and very thoughtful.

The nice thing is that it won't go out of style since he retired his number with the Av's. lol

Nice. I didn't know you could get older players jersey's very easily. I'll have to look into that. Growing up as a goalie in minor hockey, he was always my favourite.
 
It was a great Christmas for me too!

-30$ Apple Gift Card
-New Eddie Bauer Leather Wallet (I needed one so bad)
-A really nice Abercrombie and Fitch jacket
-Some mini grill for college? It's made by cuisinart, so I hope it works....
-An Eddie Bauer white long sleeve shirt
-Tickets to go see 'the Fray' in concert
-25$ gift card to AMC (that's like one movie and a small popcorn...right? ;) )
-30$ in gift cards for iTunes (which I'll use in like...an hour...)

But the big kahuna was...

-The 19" Dell Widescreen TV - with PIP - which I have both my computer and my cable tuner plugged into...I can watch semi-transparent TV while I do my work!
 
This has been another great Christmas, and there's even more to come tonight when I go two houses down to my grandmother's to open more presents! Here's the gist of what I got so far:

Apple Mighty Mouse
512MB RAM for iBook
Final Fantasy X
Headset for PS2 (Online play is really fun now!)
Columbia Jacket
2 $10 Panera Gift Cards
Penn State Blanket

40 Hour Tivo
 
seems like tivo was big this year.... i can't wait for them to release the software or whatever so you can put your shows on your ipod/PSP... god i hope it doesn't need a wireless connection it would be too slow... I hope they do it so you can just plug your ipod in your tivo
 
I kept my unopened Powerbook 12" combo and opened it this morning.

My biggest Christmas surprise was that it had a Toshiba MK6026GAX hard drive! 16mb cache! I was going to pull out the OEM Fujistu or Hitachi HD (if it came with one of those) because they only have 8mb caches and put in this very same Toshiba and a superdrive, but now, it's all good. And all still under warranty.

I also got two zeroshock laptop sleeves, one for the PB and one for my 14" 1.42ghz iBook. Nice stuff.

I also got an Eames era burled wood entertainment bookcase for audio video stuff. Very cool, upscale 70's look.

So, it was a merry Apple Christmas. Thank you Lord Jesus for the GAX hd. It was just what I wanted!
 
I didn't really ask for anything specific this year. I told my parents of my iBook plans when the Intels come out, so they kinda said they would help out with that when I decide to buy (which I do hope is before the end of January).

• $500 from my parents
• Some books
• Nice desk calendar
• Car charger for my cell phone
• A few 1/18 scale diecast model cars
• iHome clock/dock/raido for my 'Pod
• A bunch of clothes
• New running shoes
• Borders $25 gift card
• About $100 more from relatives
• Camping gadgets from my cousin
• $15 to iTunes

That's about it. I also will be getting a car in the next few months, plus the laptop. Oh, and I need a new battery for my 3rd gen iPod.
 
I got:

>2GB Memory Stick Duo
>£1000 worth of clothes that I picked out the other day
>Limited Edition Adidas Muhammad Ali trainers
>CD's
>Books
>512MB iPod Shuffle
>iPod Dock
>Shure noise cancelling headfones

I am ridiculously happy... I don't know what to play with first :D
