I got an EVGA 7800gt/sli mobo combo from my parents. How they were literate enough to find this, buy it, and know I would love it is beyond me.

I got them a pair of stormdoors, and I recarpeted their livingroom earlier this month. Yay christmas!

*raises hand*

Of course, most people just celebrate it in a family time/gift giving holiday, not a religious one.

Santa does come to the Equator:

I got my family(2 brothers, mom and dad):
A HP latop
D-link Router
2 512 Creative mp3 player
2 flash drives(512mb)
2 Digital cameras, one HP one Fuji
3 Books
Clothes from US brands(for my younger brother is all about the brands)
among other things.....

I got $1000 to buy a plane ticket(my parents yearly christmas gift) , so that I could spend the holidays with my whole family... every year I get a huge list of the things that are cheaper in the US and I bring them back home... those savings alone(which many times the deals I find them at ATHD) kind of pay for my plane ticket... thats a good deal

This year my mom made the best gift ever, she put together an album with pictures that explain my entire family tree, and text that explains names and dates. Is like having your entire family in a little book.... all the things(electronics) above will eventually become obsolete... this gift I´ll show to my grandkids....

There is nothing like spending time with ur loved ones... I am very, very happy.

Feliz Navidad a todos!
