My SS either thinks I'm nuts or I that I really do like nuts. Truth be told other than peanuts (allergy) I really do like nuts:

He also included a nice gift card to Best Buy which will allow me to indulge myself a bit as I am a tech "nut" ;). Thank you SS, love the gifts.

Money from family, sister got me a new 250gb xbox to replace my old loud, dying 60gb. Girlfriend got me a pair of Adidas Adizero Rose 2.0s (replacing my old Kobe V's cant wait to go break em in on the court), basketball socks, Kenneth Cole Black cologne, and a bottle of Ketel One. I got her a Michael Koors watch, Victoria Secret gift card. Got my sister a Kinect 4gb Xbox bundle, a wifi card for the PC I built for her and The Sims Pets pack. Got my mom a rice cooker/crock pot and my dad a handle of his favorite scotch. For myself I built a new PC (Core i5 2500k, GTX560, etc). And now waiting my final gift which is hopefully a Bulls win over the Lakers. :) Merry Christmas everybody, the exchange of gifts is just the icing on the cake for spending time with family, friends, the ones you love. Hopefully everyone is healthy and happy!

(notice the present to self in the background)

Opened my SS loot yesterday -

This is what Santa brought.

Needless to say the fun gums didn't last long :D

After a quick rinse they went in the freezer... then off for a couple of hours delivering presents :)

Then made myself this when I got back -

Apparently it is Santa's favourite too.

My thanks to Santa, I know I didn't write the easiest list to go by, and being outside the states doesn't help, but epic win from him.

I may post some more info, depending on what Santa says...

Cape Run (Kindle Edition)

The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors: The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy's Finest Hour [Kindle Edition]

Edit: I didn't scroll down the e-mail all the way. My SS also sent Memoirs of a Holocaust Survivor: Icek Kuperberg [Kindle Edition] :)

Wedding registry check ftw!
I'll be able to easily cook and then keep the new grill clean at our new house.

Umbrella seems really good. My current umbrella is not in good shape (it's being held together by a rubber band and has turns inside out in a light breeze).
