An iPhone from my Dad. Very happy. No other presents though, I haven't done the whole presents thing for like 3 years.
I'm 36 btw, LOL. Cool Dad eh?

I got a shiny, cool, holographic box with a big black X on it. 
I just wish I had an external drive to back up everything so I can install this!
I also got a gift set of Acqua Di Gio, the first season of Pysch on DVD, socks and undies, and the Monopoly Here and Now edition. Oh, and a $10 gift card to Chili's from my dad.

Me too! Tomorrow I see the other half of the family, and I'm hoping for an Apple gift card to put toward an AEBS.
Nice. I tried to talk my brother into letting me steal his external for a while so I can move some files off my MBP to install Leopard. I may just have to burn some of this stuff to DVD's and do a complete install.
Does anyone know if I can install Leopard onto it's own partition and keep Tiger? That might be the wise choice for now as I hear the Adobe products are a little buggy still. Anyway, I can't wait to get this up and running!
Well, the wife had a nice ribbon...
Looking forward to visiting your home!
LOL, one of the best taking out of context comments I've seen lately!
Sounds good!
List includes:
-Canon Digital Rebel XT (silver)
-2GB CF Extreme III card
-Nice new Pants
-New Track suit (black)
-A few Nintendo DS Games
-Polar Express DVD (sorta a gag gift)
-Socks (teh f*ck?)
-~$400 (I earned 300 of it but whatever, still good)
-Comfy plush throw banket
-Slippers
-New Winter gloves
-Some stocking stuffers
Probably the best gift of all, my cousin brought over his MacBook Pro and we did a Video Chat with my cousin who's stationed in Iraq for another half year. We put it on a swivel stool and spun it around to show everyone, and we did a gift swap in front of it so he could see. My uncle opened his gifts for him, and they'll be mailing them off shortly. It was amazing, and really shows how far technology has come.
And some good ol' christmas cheer! I had a wonderful day and I hope everyone else did too!
Merry Christmas!

I got
From my Friend:
THIS very Nice HD Phillips digital picture frame
From another Friend:
3 Pairs of Jeans from Gap
3 Tee Shirts from Hollister
From Aunt/Uncle:
Some money (Not much)
Still waiting on gifts from a few people who are mailing them, but will be getting a Gift Card to go out to eat from my other Aunt/Uncle, and Im not sure what else.
I don't really exchange gifts with that many people, and their usually not very extravagant.

Total Mac hual this year!
My haul wasn't extremely large this year (as my iMac took care of it), but almost all of it was mac related.
1) 4 gigs of OWC ram for teh iMac
2)novelty 4x5 of like 4 pieces of glass all having to do with a trumpet, don't even know why I got it. Yes I play trumpet, but...
3) Cool car safety kit, It has some essentials everyone needs in their car. Sadly the tool kit is in imperial, My car is metric...
4) AirPort Express
5)Pinnacle TV for Mac HD Stick Not the exact model I wanted, and I will prolly switch to a QAM capable one when one shows up. However, it's EyeTV compatable...even if it is only the lite version (and the upgrade is $50)
6) About $150 in various giftcards (more than half is AMEX or VISA)
7)$70 in Gate gas cards I really needed these, and as I get 30mpg, and have
a 11gallon tank, It will last...
8)Subscription to MacWorld. I am looking forward to some mac-inspired british literature. British+Mac=Devine
9)$600 worth of debt forgiven on my iMac
10) Various candies, gum, and office supplies in the stockings
11)$45 in iTunes giftcards
I'd say it's a pretty good haul, I have ideas for the giftcards, I currently typing this over my APEX and my printer is hooked to it as well. Good thing too, because the printer had my last USB port in my entire machine (including hubs), that way the tuner could take its spot. And I am watching Bones in HD in my desktop.
Twas a good day, as will become, even better a night.

Now that's a freaken' present. Amazing how that stuff can be done these days.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I got:
iPod Touch 16GB (I actually got it in early November before our car trip and paid back half of it to my parents.)
Super Mario Galaxy
Hoodie + Flannel Pants with my high school logo
A tennis ball ornament
Four cans of tennis balls
Various clothes
Frosted Glass Chess Set
Over $250 in gift cards & cash
A small statue-box thing of a skier
And although it's not "officially" a present, my parents are paying for a private tennis lessons for me sometime during break.
It was a pretty great Christmas.
Edit: With the money, I'm going to buy Guitar Hero III (if I can get it!), and Leopard + External Hard Drive (but that might wait until my birthday).
