For me it's all about giving. And giving I did, it was great fun and a great time was had by all. Just seeing their smiles was wonderful.
I was really hoping for the "Human Anatomy Sculpting" in ZBrush. I didn't get it but no biggie since I ordered it right after unwrapping presents with an Amazon gift card I received
I was shocked my parents got me as much as they did. I told them I didn't need anything but gave them a list anyway since getting me nothing doesn't fly with them.
other than that I also got a Fujistu Finepix F500EXR camera, 375 dollars, Scandals, and Candy.
No idea how he got it down the chimney!

I do have to say this year definitely took the cake for most random gifts received
I did get a bunch of useful books on Maya, ZBrush, Digital Matte Painting, and game asset creation, and a Seven Springs gift card (its a local ski resort) but they're boring to talk about so here is the random stuff:
-A framed picture of a cat (not even my cat, just a random cat lol)
-Lord of the Rings Pez dispenser set
-My sister is knitting me a dwarf costume head thing that is the helmet and beard (she claims its a gag gift but I don't know if I believe her ).
(Those are random because I do like the Lord of the Rings movies but I am in no way obsessed with them, I've never read the books, and I always get the characters mixed up)
-A jar of fake snow (I don't even know what to do with that lol)
-A laptop computer ornament for my tree (They think I am obsessed with computers so I just go with it, in reality I'm not).
-An air mattress (???)
Needless to say though they spent waaaay too much on me but I am grateful for it.

You should keep it to use on New Year's Eve when you go 'first footing' It's good to be able to bring cheer to a neighbours hearth.A lump of coal

My God, you're near as old as me.
Are you descended from Dutch criminals??
Nope, the crims went to Australia, and I'm a little rainbow Kiwi. I do remember my Mam and Da going first footing though.
My genealogy includes things like lassies from 'uddersfield and miners from Swansea. No convicts that I can own to though.

We do that at our home too. Coal, coins, bread, salt and either whiskey or scotch (I can't quite remember) are given at midnight on Jan 1.

I got a set of Bose Q15 headphones so I can drowned out all the noise at home and relax. They actually work really well, especially when listening to music. I also got a Desert Eagle 1911.
Yes, very much like that. Aren't I a sweet little thing.
It finally clicked that in your association of a gift of coal and the Dutch. Swarte Piet (Black Peter) was the sidekick of Sinterklaas (St Nick) For the bad kids in town there would be a lump of coal from Black Peter, the goodies got the candy.
Oh and for the record, you still have a year or three on me, I've just turned 64.
When I get older losing my hair, many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out til quarter to three, would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, would you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four.
.... Or worlds to that effect,

iPod touch so I can keep 4000000 CDs on it and finally clear out the interior of my Land Rover - the head unit has an iPod input socket.
However it pales beside my daughter's iPad 2... been on that ever since, when I can get it off her...
