So what did you get for Christmas?

[Cheese78CA]

Nada, zip, zero, 0, NOTHING. I never get anything for Christmas, New Years, or for any achievements. I do get food on the table, shelter over my head and clothing to wear. I don't mind it so much anymore, but I wished I had gotten some toys or even more words of encouragement when I was younger. It's not value for material things, but value for display of affection. I still wish I did, but I consider myself more fortunate than a lot of other people and for that, I'm thankful.

Inlaws gave us a Panasonic DVD player, Clothes, buncha little cool things and $1k.
Later today were going to my side of the family. We just got married last month and are still trying to find room for the stuff we got from the wedding.

The wife gave me a Robot tonight thats both Voice command and remote control. Not sure what she was thinking but hey its the thought that counts. I gave her a 18inch Gold-N-Platnium necklace and matching bracelet. Also some stuff from Victoria's Secret.

Nothing, I probably will get an MP3 Player though. Honestly, I think that's the only thing I wanted--or maybe an SLR camera so I can learn how to take photos...

Nothing I can't live without...

 

[erub]

Well..I didn't get nothing for Christmas..got some stuff for Hanukkah though

Visiontek Geforce3 Ti200 (Black Friday deal)

Half Life Game of the Year Edition

Oh, not much, you say? Well I got this stuff for my b-day:
CD Clock Radio
Microsoft Xbox
New cell phone and service for a year (~$400)

I'm very happy

Edit: Oh yeah, I bought myself an Audigy because my old Turtle Beach card decided it didn't want to work with the Geforce3...

 

[baisezmoi]

i got the following..

mpio mp3 player with 128mb (awesome player, i was planning to get additional mb but decided 128mb was more than enough)

[vi edit]

A North Face Gore-Tex Parka

It's not the PS2 or Ipaq I was hoping for, but It'll probably provide far more functionality and will last a hell of a lot longer before it needs to be upgraded
