An overcoat
A leather jacket
A few t-shirts
Some good wool socks
A Bowtie (A real one!)
A tool set
$20 Starbucks GC
LOTR EE Set
America- the Book
Some other really good books.

Thats about it. I'm not getting any of the fancy computer parts and gadgets that most of y'all are getting.

Nothing to talk about really...but I paid off my $8,000 in credit card debt, and paid my auto/rental insurance premium off for one year in advance. Oh and I got a pair of boxers, socks, and a calander. On the bad side, since i paid all of my debt off and took care of the insurance, I forgot to keep enough to pay my $300 phone bill and now my cell phone service is disconnected. Oh well, can't win them all.

The Lego 1:10 scale Ferrari (Already together :p)
A homebrew kit :D
A bunch of dehydrated ice cream ( I love that stuff)
Dodgeball DVD
Best buy GCs
Visa GC
Chilis GC
An DC-powered cooler for the car


The Ferrari is really cool. The engine has moving pistons that are powered when the rear wheels are turned. The rear wheels also have a working differential. The steering wheel also works.

I was sick all throughout the holidays (still am, posting from bed). Turns out I have an abcessed tooth, plus more assorted fun. So other than this infection and a trip to the dentist, I did get some cool shirts, and assorted small random things like one of those Atari TV games, candies, socks, etc.
