The "What I Got For Christmas" Thread

[jalagl]

Really happy this christmas.
My girlfriend just blew me away:
Vintage bottle of wine,
Hugh's World Atlas of Wine
A wine journal
...

Glad to see another Wine lover here at MacRumors. My parents gave me an 8-bottle wine cooler. I just finished setting it up with my brother. I love it!

Other than that, I got:

- A nice wallet
- A nice everyday watch
- An engraved keyring
- Two shirts
- A gift certificate to get a pair of jeans.

2 x 23" ACD
Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital
Some shirts from Zara
An Espirit jacket
A Cartier santos watch
Pumas and Nike Dunk Lows

etc.

I think outside of the person getting the car, you have the largest monetary list so far.

Crazy nice shirts, a over 2k watch and 2 acds. YIPES! You have some generous gift givers

And yes, what type of car?

I got a 8gb iPod Touch, some bath and body stuff, and the "softest, sweetest Nap Blanket ever" (and it is!)

Time to cuddle up with my iPod and take me a nap to the sweet sounds of music

Nice stuff so far guys..

Well still waiting for the parents and brother to get up, 9am here. I know of one thing so far, 8gb iPhone. Only due because i had to buy it my self, my mom thought she would buy the wrong thing. Defiantly not complaining.

Well Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy Holidays to those who don't celebrate it.

Enjoy your new stuff

Guitar Hero 2 (since GH3 isn't out yet)

Huh? Guitar Hero 3 is sitting in my living room right now...

 

[Roger1]

Well, I received a new floor jack. The old jack has been around since I was a kid, and now leaks. Very scary when a person is trying to use it. I also got a new bicycle. It says GMC on it. I think it's a Kent, with GMC licensing their name to it. It's really quite nice. Aluminum frame, full suspension, 21 speed, and a front disk brake. My old bike is in top notch shape, but it's rough on my back without the suspension.

Merry Christmas, y'all!
