Looking grim so far, with two shirts that don´t fit me and a mixup that led my girlfriend to buy me a Hideki Matsui shirt instead of a Kaz Matsui shirt (I´m a Mets fan)... but an iPod is on the way thanks to my pops, so in the end I know I´ll be pleased.

I´m getting LASIK at the end of January and that´s pretty much my Christmas. The only thing I asked for was the Band of Brothers DVD set. If I get it good to go, if not... good to go.

I did really good:
 
 1:43 scale R/C Lancer Evo
 (my step-daughter got a matching mini-cooper so we could race <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_biggrin.gif">)
 RISK: Lord of the Rings Trilogy Edition
 Indiana Jones Trilogy on DVD
 X2: X-Men United DVD
 Snoopy Boxers (nickname around the house is Snoopy because of "Joe Cool")
 dress socks
 nice bookmark with my initial
 book light
 game pack (chess/cribbage/backgammon/etc)
 and I´m sure I´m forgetting something
 
 Hope you all are having a great Christmas.

I did great. No gaming related stuff this year. Everyone realizes I just buy what I want as far as that goes..
 
 I got:
 
 Odyssey 2-ball Putter Yeeha!
 
 Nose hair trimmer (LOL! From the wife)
 3 Pro V1 golf balls
 Chocolate covered almonds
 rivet tool
 screwdriver set
 Customized golf ball marker with my name on it (for marking your ball on the greens)
 
 And the best;
 
 My wife´s face when she realized I got her a new laptop. (Christmas and graduation gift.)

X-Box w/ Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
 
 $$ for a digital camcorder...Hoping there are some nice after xmas sales
 
 A whole load of books. All in all another monstrous haul completely at odds with the amount I deserved <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

I received:
 
 Mario Kart: Double Dash!;
 Inside Drive 2004;
 Two American Eagle sweaters, an AE button up, and an AE toque;
 A Nautica dress shirt;
 Dockers stain defender black pants;
 Wireless router;
 jeans;
 and some other misc. stuff.
 
 BTW, I´m still 21 and am spoiled by my family and gf, so I got a pretty decent haul.
 
 I hope everybody else had a great Christmas, and not just because of the ´stuff´ that they got and gave to others.
 
 And James: I take it that your job situation worked out good in the end?

I got a handsome bonus and an extra week vacation next year from my employer for all the travel and overtime we put in this summer. Very nice and unexpected.

My Christmas was great on the family front...not so great on the gift front.
 
 My girlfriend apparently is the only person who knows me, so she got me all the cool gifts.
 
 A Chris Chambers Dolphins Jersey
 A Nike Sweatshirt
 A Gap Shirt
 A Hurricanes rugby beenie
 Bad Boys II DVD
 
 As for the rest of my family:
 
 Pots and Pans for the new crib (this was good but not for Christmas, sheesh)
 3 Sweaters from Eddie Bauer (that are going back for a leather jacket that I wanted)
 A Cookbook
 Some random golf equipment that a already had (balls, gloves)
 
 All in all, it was a great christmas in terms of hanging out and having a good time...which is really all that counts.
 
 Glad to hear most of you guys had a good time as well.
 
 Oh yeah...I´m getting a couch too...my parents were going to give me their old one when they bought a new one. Well, they bought the new one for a GREAT price and it turns out it doesn´t match...so they are giving it to me since it was a such a good deal. They are considering it a housewarming gift. I guess I can´t argue with that. [ This message was edited by: dbdynsty25 on 26-12-2003 10:22 ]
