I'm 33 years old, so it's rare that I have that kind of Xmas, very unexpected.

But the best thing happened Xmas Eve. 30+ members of my family at my sisters house, then I snuck her mom and dad over at the last minute, she had no clue...

After knowin her for 18 years, I finally asked :eek:

She was so stunned, never saw it comin', it was priceless :D

I didn't get anything except for the little "goodie bag" type of gifts (which don't count)...
If you do think those count, I got a small cannister of imported tea and some lotion from work.

Oh yeah, also forgot, a copy of Dream Theater's Live at Budokan CD, only it hasn't arrived yet :) The bongos are sweet; my gf remembered me saying I played some in a friend's dorm, and since I'm always drumming on stuff, it's a perfect gift for me. My roomie's gonna hate me though :p
