Oh, and my parents got me this really nice oak chess/ backgammon table.

DO it. NOW!!!!!
 
Everything I asked for and a little more:

Alien Quadrilogy DVD Collection
X-Men DVD Collection (included X-Men and X-Men 2 + bonus DVDs)
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen DVD
Ronin DVD
100 Pack TDK CD-R Spindle
2 50 Pack Maxtor CD-R Spindles
Need For Speed: Underground (PC)
Unreal II (PC)
Clint Eastwood Adventurer DVD Collection (Firefox, Space Cowboys, White Hunter Black Heart)
Perry Ellis pullover, a couple Nike T-shirts

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I had a great Christmas, especially watching my daughter (her 2nd X-Mas) open her presents.
 
From my brother:
MAG Innovision 19" LT976S LCD 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Belkin F6H500-USB 28min UPS
A much much much needed lamp for my dark room w/4 extra bulbs to last me all year long 🙂

From parents:
2 fancy shirts which I'll probably wear only once.


I feel bad. All I got my bro this Christmas was 2 magazine subscriptions: CPU and Maximum PC.

My brother got himself an Ipaq HP5550, because of all of his "hard shopping" and he needed to "reward himself".
His gf got him a 40gb Ipod. He won't let me touch his Ipod, and his Ipaq has fingerprint security, so I can't use either :/
 
let's see...

i got a "enemies of the 2nd amendment playing cards deck" 😕
some paper ass gaskets 😕:Q
some eyepieces and filters for my telescope, and a cool alignment tool to replace the spotting scope.
a half-million candlepower spotlight
2 lego's sets (dont know why)
and a really nice unmentionable item.. almost 1.5 grand nice.

let's just say some things havent been improved upon in the last 125 or so years.
 
From my parents:

*An FM radio pen (that you can write with, lol) from JCPenney
*An emergency radio/flashlight that has solar power + crank power
*Canon A70 kit off ebay (camera + 128mb CF card, case, mini tripod, battery charger + batteries)
*Clothes (dark green dockers khakis, nice sweater, $100 gift card to American Eagle, underwear, t-shirts, etc)
*Leaktek WinFast TV2000 XP Deluxe TV/FM Tuner (woot woot! This is what I asked for)
*Coffee maker that brews coffee into two thermoses for my fiancee and I =)

From my extended family:

*Gift Cards (Block buster, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Wendy's, Best Buy)
*My paternal grandmother sent me a $50 check and two sweaters from someone elses yard sale. One is turquoise and is "Hanes Her Way". God bless her for sending me money and nice sweaters, but please check the tags, grandma! =)
*A nice 2003 ornament with my name etched into it.

From my fiancee:

*Farris Buellers Day Off DVD
*Indiana Jones Box Set DVDs
*Stationary Bike (time to lose some weight, I get the hint babe)
*Face lotion and some other hygene products (again, I get the hint)
*Old Navy Fleece V-neck thingy

From my future mother and father-in-law:

*Footjoy Golf shoes
*Golf bag
*Golf glove
*Golf Tees
*Fleece pajama pants
*Nautica Hat
*Nautica Sweater

.....

Needless to say, I was blessed with a great Christmas. I don't play golf, but Megan's family loves to golf, so they are obviously getting me suited up to play =)

My gift was my dads gift too. We went out and bought a BMW 545i with Premium Sound and Park Distance Control...yum 🙂. Since I'm 13, it's not really mine, but I decided to give up my gift in hopes he will let me drive some 😛.
