I got a little white SUV (told you so), TV for my living room, bunch of DVDs, books, perfume, candles, candy, cookies, wine, 24X CD-RW, cash, and a bunch of other stuff. I made out this year, I have a huge family and a staff of ten at work.

Easton Air Zero Shock Hockey Gloves
Logitech Optical Mouse and Logitech Keyboard
Electric Guitar
Amplifier
A lot of the other regular junk (clothes, underwear, cash, etc.)

Overall, a very satisfying Christmas. My acoustic guitar developed a warped neck from laying around on it's back, so I was in dire need of a new guitar. Getting an electric blew me away though.
The hockey gloves were needed also, spent 2 years on my last pair, they didn't have an inch of palm left on them.

I got a 15 pack of maxell audio cdr's with slimline jewel cases, which was damned cool of my uncle.

My aunt gave me a gift certificate for a free massage. She's a massotherapist and my back and neck have been hurting like a mofo, so this is a much welcome gift.

And I got a couple hundred in cash. Ah, sweet sweet cash. :D

The best gift of them all was seeing my cousin I haven't seen in a year. Definately nice to see her.

I got some pretty cool stuff. I got some clothes and jammies and jewelry and some body glitter. (My step-mother sent my presents to my old address so I don't have them yet.) :( I'm hoping to get some New Year's nookie though. :Q :eek: ;) Heehee

:disgust: I didn't get a new car for Christmas :disgust:



I got


From parents: school supplies and a note saying "good luck with your grades", new backpack, Casio digital watch and a Dremel tool set.

From friends: Chocolates and candies. One girl baked some Christmas cookies for me, but I suspect all her friends got the same thing.
