my parents gave me a check to help pay for the furniture that I bought earlier in the month :thumbsup:

I also got a nice set of cast iron pans from my parents; my sister and her husband bought me some DS games and a couple books.

Definitely needs to be institutionalized.

Being with Red, I would surely keep all sharp objects away from her.

Not much else. I'm off to Prague for 4 nights at midnight on Thursday with 2 mates. Going down in a mates S3 which I'm insured on so I'm going to thrash the car about on the autobahns :D

I bought a house and I'm moving in March so I'm saving all of my £££ to kit the house out :thumbsup:

I'd gladly trade just about anything I have for that very same thing.

Now the complete list:
$50 from my aunt
$25 from my dad
$100 from my other aunt, quite surprised on that one
A bottle of Santa's Butt Porter from my mom. http://www.sheltonbrothers.com...Profile.asp?BeerID=152 :D
World Market Winter Sampler Pack from my mom. :) 10 different beer, mostly seasonal brews.

Cash is nice and I'm not trying to diminish the other gifts, but the beer from my mom is really really nice and easily the best gift.
